They take care of their employees - Operations Support Analyst bei Apex Performance Solutions: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Supportive management team for consultants. New roles found to retain employees when contracts ended provided continuity of employment.

Need ability to adapt to rapidly changing work.

Very nice co-workers and management, nice break room amenities (coffee, treats, soda). Laid back as long as you get your work done. Get to stay busy. Never really know what the next project will bring. Get to work from home if pre-approved, usually when sick but able to work, bad weather, need to get something done late at night, etc.

Small consulting company that does grunt work for Microsoft "and others". Very few people work for other companies, so as soon as Microsoft doesn't want you anymore and has no where else to put you - you are laid off.
