Pros

It depends on the group you get placed into. There are many good leaders and managers scattered around the organization. If you are fortunate enough to work with these individuals, do what you can to learn from them. There are tons to be learned and most people see this organization as a stepping stone to further their careers. It is true, in that respect, but it's up to the individual to be proactive, learn, and to fight to earn what's deserving to him/her.

Cons

Most people gripe about it, but the salary is subpar compared to SSC' competitors in the industry. Also, it can be frustrating when dealing with less-than-motivated colleagues and excess amounts of overtime.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

The company has a great severence package. Unfortunately thats a pro because they are laying off workers every 3 months until most of operations are offshore. Decent 401k match and vacation.

Cons

Layoffs, pay is low. Return to office mandate.
