      It's a sinking ship, don't be deceived by their "awards" shouted out on LinkedIn.

      Pros

      -Emphasis and investment on employee learning and development -Flexible work arrangements

      Cons

      1. A conservative mindset that underpins everything they do, leading to tight budgets everywhere, and sensitive, insecure employees who fear getting outshone when someone else comes in and does a better job. 2. They try to hire for as cheap as possible but still have the audacity to charge clients big time. 3. Very biased in favour of engineers, in terms of referral programs and financial support for certification/further education. 4. They frown upon people trying to champion themselves. People tend to need to pull rank in order to get others moving, if you are an individual contributor who isn't from the CIS region and leading a project, expect things to move really slowly. 5. Only started a DEI department in recent 2 years, people there aren't really ready to talk about sensitive topics like LGBTQ. 6. They've lost huge business in 2023, and some of their best salespersons left, and many have been let go or quit before they were hit. 7. People are often based out at client offices, most of us feel very disengaged from the company itself.

      Decent Consultant Company

      Senior software engineer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Emphases on employee learning & development. There are a lot of internal tooling & learning resources to assist employees career growth. - (Somewhat) transparent career progression. - Generally friendly manager, but this vary from location to location. - Allow to "rotate" to another client company after a certain period of time, but still requires interview with the client company.

      Cons

      - Heavily exposed to market macroeconomics. The market downturn of 2023 force the company to cut cost, result in lesser increment and bonus. There are also lesser client companies/projects to work with. However, to be fair, the company didn't do any mass layoff. - As employees are mostly deployed at client side, the manager are heavily "detached" from employee's day-to-day performance, and can cause mismatch during performance review. - Working environment (colleague/manager that you work with day-to-day, work-life balance and culture) are heavily dependents on which client company you deployed to, so take other reivew's comment on working environment with a grain of salt. Some of the cons listed above are not entirely the company's fault, but rather the "nature" of a consultant company. But I still want to highlight it here so you can compare the pros and cons working in a consultant company vs directly under a company.
