No surprises for the Client; Full of sad surprises for the employees
Pros: Work across industries and learn every type of business till you know which industry is right for you
Cons: 1. False promises/sales pitches reign in order to get you to join e.g. "will make you manager in 6 months", "we encourage job rotation" etc. which have no basis or record
2. Being billable matters ... your personal emergency situations don't count, so don't eff with their near-term revenue
3. Job descriptions ask for skills which you'll use on client projects but there is a lot more contribution they ask for the firm internally that isn't on the job description
4. Superstars matters, stars can burn their blood & sweat and they don't matter at all
5. No real sensitivity to immigrants and their issues
6. Hire from diverse skill sets but then treat them the same and expect them to be an expert in every industry and advise the client at any stage of the product/service life-cycle. One day you're talking to a project manager, next day you're expected to impress a business architect in an industry where you have no knowledge. So random!!! Those who get lucky to avert such situations, rise. Others just burn out with stress.
7. If you don't have a project - you need to search for one. Its like job searching while having a job. And if you don't get a project, a lay-off is coming your way.
8. Managers don't use positive motivation, mostly negative motivation. Expect you to love the company rather than creating an environment where you really think you work in a cool place. Its not Google. Its also not like a cool boutique studio.
