Pros
Live anywhere, treated fairly independently.
Cons
Kalypso is a consulting firm that markets itself as innovation, but honestly does little more than PLM implementation - at higher than market rates for a commodity. There is EXTREME favoritism, especially towards attractive female employees, including extra staffing, easy ability to stop traveling, and hotel, trips, and other perks given by Bill Poston, one of the two founders. The two founding partners still do 75% of all partner work, with some partners doing next to nothing. Partners who don't sell aren't penalized, but rather consultants who can't get staffed get laid off - after founders claimed they never do that. There are numerous instances of hiring of family members, favoritism towards Texas based people (including tax evasion for the founders). Most of their cultural values are paraded as benefits, but are common practice among other consulting firms. Compensation is poor at all levels. Getting staffed any many firms is challenging, but Kalypso sells very little work so your utilization is very high (1+ year data migration, very boring), or very low and constantly doing PD work for partners who can't sell.
