Pros

Provides a stable paycheck while you are on the bench, which can be used for self-study.

Cons

Technical Stagnation: The firm operates like it's 2005. I have worked on projects with zero version control and ancient stacks. If you care about staying relevant in Java, .NET 9, or Cloud architecture, you will find no support here. Severe Underpayment: I started in 2022 at $76k, which was already below market. In 2026, they are hiring NYC juniors at $65k. With 2026 inflation, this is effectively a 30% decrease in purchasing power. You are literally paying to work here. Broken Processes: Internal placements are disorganized. You can sit on the bench for months with no direction while your skills rot. Advice to Candidates: Do not move to a high-cost-of-living area for this company. The salary will not cover your basic expenses, and the lack of modern tooling will make you less employable for your next role.

Cons

I was laid off after spending several months on the bench, with "lack of available projects" cited as the reason. However, another consultant in the same role who was also without an active client engagement was retained. As a woman and racial minority, I could not ignore the disparity in how these decisions appeared to be made. Before my termination, I reported being recorded without my consent and raised concerns about conduct that I believed reflected implicit bias. I was referred to as "URM" instead of by my name or role, encouraged toward race based employee resource groups rather than meaningful career opportunities, and repeatedly advocated for fair project placement while on the bench. My employment ended shortly after I raised these concerns. Following my termination, I pursued the matter through the appropriate internal and legal channels. I provided documentation supporting my concerns and gave the company multiple opportunities to investigate and resolve the issues. Rather than meaningfully addressing the evidence or acknowledging the seriousness of the allegations, the company denied wrongdoing, offered what I viewed as a nominal severance, and declined to accept accountability. Employees deserve confidence that concerns about discrimination and retaliation will be investigated objectively and fairly. My experience left me with the opposite impression.
