Avantages

I've had a lot of great experiences working here. The client list is one of the best you'll find anywhere (New York or otherwise), and I've personally worked on some of the best projects of my career here. I'm constantly learning and I look forward to coming to work a lot more than most people I know. That said, I think the number one reason a CMS developer should consider working here is the overtime policy. If you work more than 40 hours a week and the company can bill for those hours, you are paid for them. It an incentive that keeps project managers honest on estimates and keeps people motivated. It also means the chances of working 12 hour days are pretty slim, which is great for work/life balance, etc.

Inconvénients

I have definitely been assigned to projects that weren't properly estimated and examined before I started working on them. I've also been thrown into situations that were well over my head and I had a hard time getting the help that I needed. That said, most of the other downsides are really just downsides of working in consulting. You don't have a constant office, you may not always like the project you're on, but few projects last more than 3 months anyway.

Avantages

There are very supportive and professional people working at Northpoint. Working as a consultant is the best thing for a computer programmer, you are open to many different technologies, ideologies, techniques. As a consultant you are never stagnant, you get to learn new languages or new techniques since not all projects are a like, you meet interesting people. Working in different and some pretty amazing companies gives you an opportunity to learn to communicate with different personalities and adapt to all kinds of situations. There is a lot of growth opportunities at Northpoint, since you can start as an Associate and grow all the way to Senior Manager or even Partner. They have a culture of promoting from within as well as teaching their employees by having "lunch and learns" and all other learning opportunities. I do feel like they are my daytime family, we do some fun things together too, so it's not always all about work.

Inconvénients

For me personally there are really no cons here. I would agree with other reviewer here that sometimes projects are not 100% estimated but I think that's a normal agile planning issue that exists in any place where planing is not easily achieved.
