We do have specialties in that we align to a practice area (app dev, crm, delivery leadership (PM, BA), etc. ), but I'd say industry expertise is way more common in the business practices than the technical.

Yes. We do a lot more cross functional teams here than other places.

A lot of that has to do with how revenue can be double counted and how we are more mellow in sales targets than other places

Our office has the perspective that your practice area is where you will find your mentors but you will be staffed across any and all skills that you have and/or are trying to grow.

Trying to kill silos.
