Pros

benefits, ergs, lower level managers are great

Cons

Low pay Entry-level consultants make more than mid-level Analysts now. They have gotten a 6 dollar pay increase in the last year while Analysts have sat stagnant. Consultants make monthly bonuses while Analysts get nothing. Poor pay increases Not trustworthy. Promised flexibility while secretly planning a move to full-time in office, no allowed remote work. Why lie to employees? Says they care about giving employees a voice but never listen to feedback. Departments refuse to communicate with each other. Co-workers hate each other. Everyone is out for themselves and you can't work honestly with anyone here. Leaders do not have your back. Constant surveillance - High-def cameras in all corners of the office, keyloggers secretly installed on computers, monitors in office attendance even if you have no valid reason to need to be in office for the day, heavily micromanaged. Why hire people just to treat them like children? I work my hands to the bone for this company and have been a loyal employee for 6 years just to be treated like I can't be trusted and need constant adult supervision. So clueless they literally throw pizza parties instead of listening to employees. We want remote work, market pay, and non nepotistic career growth. We don't want extreme control, pizza parties, and childlike prizes. They for real gave us bags of candy and gum for employee appreciation. How clueless can you be?

Pros

You get a bi-weekly paycheck.

Cons

The culture has tanked under new leadership over the last couple of years. It’s cutthroat, senior management keeps swapping out experienced leaders for their own people, same values, same bottom line only mindset. No one actually knows what they’re doing because everyone’s expected to do everything and own the fallout when it doesn’t work. Decisions get micromanaged or made behind closed doors about your own team, with no input. There’s constant pressure to cut expenses, and the target seems to double every month, at this rate it feels like the end is inevitable. Layoffs happen a few times a year now, two years running, and leadership straight up tells you it’s the new norm, so get used to it. Everyone knows it, everyone talks about it, and everyone’s living in fear. On top of that, you’re expected to work 12 hour days and answer emails on weekends, then get told you’re still not doing enough. It’s demoralizing. This is an awful place to work, and with the job market this bad, people can’t leave even though everyone’s looking. Feels like a sinking ship, and they deserve it for how they treat people.
