Pros

You get paid; other than that, there are none.

Cons

No work-life balance; left to individuals to try and arrange that with every new client. Management only interested in numbers, with you being one of them. Every penny of expense scrutinized and sneered upon. Very little training offered. They have a university-style training academy, but I don't know anyone who ever attended. Most presales work is staffed with bench staff, so inexperienced bid teams. Long hours and expect to burn the traveling time to client sites. No staffing intelligence; they often lie to clients about staff experience and ability, asking you to hold more than one CV and tailor it per client. Promotion and salary increases are few and far between.

Advice to Management

Really, take a look inside your teams. I've never seen so many demoralised staff.
