Pros

Initial starting benefits and pay while on board may be a bit above the industry average. But they have to do that to attract naive people who were not lucky enough to be warned about this place. Ask around with recruiters who are NOT trying to place you here and see what they have to say. They all know what kind of a revolving door this place it.

Cons

Hiring people with the promise of long-term, full-time employment only to fire them as soon as your pipeline of work dries up, which happens after clients realize how disconnected management is from the needs of the customer. If you are considering working here be sure that you have a plan for what you will be doing in a few months when you are laid off.

Not a great company to work for

Pros

Management of Dallas office was good, but they had their hands tied by delusional CEO and President. The few consultants that were there were great to work with and very nice people.

Cons

Top heavy with management. CEO and President changed the direction of the company as the wind blows. Not enough consultants. Sales people seem to come and go about every 3-6 months with no one sticking around. Seemed very much like a mom and pop company that was trying to pretend like being like one of the big boys.
