Pros
Flexible Work Models: I spent 6 years on Flex models at <100% capacity to help juggle things at home. (2 kids, 2 career household) Loved the ability to modulate up and down as needed. Remote Work Opportunities: I like the approach to purposeful co-location. Teams co-lo when it matters, but allow flex when it matters. We don't get together simply b/c it is Tuesday. We do it for the right reasons. Learning and Development: Incredible opportunities for professional growth through training and coaching programs. I love my personal coach. I am also mid-learning path on digital/data platform design, a topic I'm eager to learn more about. Impact on Society: As a for-profit company not every project will save the world, but they often save jobs, make employees' lives better, and bring better products to the world. We have a TON of social impact work as well and I'm proud of the investments we make in our global and local communities. Fast-Paced Problem-solving: I am not bored (which wasn't true at other fast-paced jobs in finance). I'm constantly tackling a new problem with clients and learning a ton. Collaborating with senior leaders in a fast-paced setting ensures rapid decision-making and impactful results.
Cons
Predictability - some weeks are nuts, some are lighter, it isn't a punch-in-punch-out job so some of that is to be expected but its a challenge none-the-less.
