A couple which quickly comes to mind:

1. They have picked off smaller contract houses, forcing contractors to either 
become MSX employees or face removal from the customer site (i.e. 
unemployment, unless your original contract house can place you elsewhere).

2. The "forget" to follow federal overtime laws, unless forcefully reminded. 

3. They are cheap. Ciber pays about $2k per year in educational/training 
reimbursements, MSX pays $0.

That's all I have to say on the subject.
