      Pros

      -Coffee and bagels? -decent salary, benefits

      Cons

      The managers are really weird. Bad weird. They are growing fast and promoting people to management prematurely, but also not promoting associate consultants based on any tangible qualities. Sometimes seems very luck of the draw. You will be asked to work 60 hours a week and told to put 40 or less on your timecard. You will be involved in some sort of toxic gossip or trash talking, usually involving management. You will hear really overtly sexual and very inappropriate comments at most company functions. The HR department will suggest the best way to handle unprofessional misconduct is to talk it out. Company is startlingly homogenous for such a diverse area.

      Pros

      * Good WLB * Intelligent and caring coworkers * Interesting work

      Cons

      * Leadership is out of touch with the average employee and doesn't take feedback * Company preaches about its values but doesn't live by them * Culture was much better before and during the pandemic. Declined rapidly in the past year. I no longer feel that the culture is employee-centric * There has been a lot of back-peddling on previous decisions and some shady behavior around layoffs. You can't take what the company says at face value

      If you like success, stay away.

      Pros

      You can potentially keep your job for years even though you won't sell anything.

      Cons

      10-15 AEs out of 150+ made quota every year that I was at the company. Pricing is an absolute mess. Leadership has some kind of identity crisis with the product and keeps changing what you'll sell, year over year. They blame the reps for lack of success without wanting to accept the truth that something was poorly designed for that lack of success across the entirety of the team.
