Great Big Corporation to work for. Looks good on the Resume
Pros: 1. Excellent work /  life balance options
2. Above market rate salaries
3. Tons of opportunities to learn
4. Large population of employees and big project teams lends exposure to diverse cultures.
Cons: 1. Assignments can be long and hopelessly monotonous.
2. Performance rating system seems to be flawed. You may be held on bench earmarked for an engagement for future project by the Partners / RDM's; but you still will get less rating for your low utilization, which was not your fault in the first place.
3. Performance targets are set in Feb / March for the year. Evaluations for the year occur end of November / December, leaving first 2 months and last 1 month out of the scope. You are left to accomplish the 12 month goals in just 9 months..
