The lack of oraganic growth is freely admitted by the company; just visit the website and they list their acquisitions like medals of honor. Anyone with enough cash can purchase anything and in a depressed and compressing IT market things can be had on the cheap. Witness the Plaut deal and the good lord only knows how much or how little they paid for CIMA. The Plaut deal was a fire sale; lipstick on a pig is right
The morale at the company I can only imagine to be terrible. Sniping and in fighting the order of the day people chasing the almighty chargeable hour lest they wind up on the National dole
The simple fact is they are and always will be a body shop; a rent a techie (or strategist)
The Philly megolomania was in fact unceremoniously dumped (interesting..how did you know he was from the city of Brotherly Love ..i wonder)

Your comments resonate on multiple fronts but be assured, the CEO and CFO aren't as quick to suggest lack of organic growth.
Regarding the Philly guy and keep in mind my interest in this company has nothing to do as a potential employer, thats easy. He was a well networked former Big 5 guy. His name hits many radars, though rarely ever favorably. Former lead Partners get some notice on where they turn up. For those who evaluate companies, the access to multiple networks (including this board) to validate what a management team says is well known. He just happened to be a curious blip on the screen. PS..he's also very outspoken and its to no surprize how things circulate. PSS..as I recall his original Big 5 practice was based in Philly.
So if no organic growth, poor morale and overall bad leadership, whats makes this place tick?
