Pros

To start, it is very good. They train and teach you. They give you the tools to be able to learn on your own what you want. This may or may not serve your current position and perform in office.

Excellent for gaining experience. At least in the area of development, your colleagues always support you and share their knowledge with you.

The job is fun, and you learn new things every day. Home office is available in some areas, depending on the type of client.

Cons

The pay is very poor, below market. There is no possibility of accessing significant salary increases or changing areas, which is one of the things that they promote and promise you when you enter.

Being a consulting company, they do not place limits on the client when dealing with the employee. There is constantly a transfer of responsibilities by the client. They tend to blame you for things that go wrong, even if it's not your fault, and your PM usually does nothing.

Advice to Management

Increase salaries and give more importance to the well-being of the worker over the client. Happy workers do better work.
