Pros

Flexible work schedules, decent health insurance

Cons

Project managers are severely overworked leading to new engineers learning everything on their own with high utilization rates. There is a lot of gossiping, managers overseeing their best friends, and extremely dysfunctional teams with people openly breaking down in the office. If you can function on your own you can do decently well, but the culture needs a lot of work. I saw several new engineers given utilization rates around 95% who were not given much work to do and then were chastised for not hitting their utilization.

Thank you for sharing your perspective and for recognizing our flexible work options and benefits. We respectfully disagree with the characterization of our culture and teams. While expectations in a consulting environment are high, we place strong emphasis on accountability, collaboration, and professional growth. Utilization goals are established with business needs in mind and are supported through active project planning and manager engagement. We continuously invest in training, leadership development, and clear performance expectations to ensure employees—especially early‑career professionals—are positioned to succeed, using a broad range of data points to guide ongoing improvement. We appreciate the opportunity to respond and wish you continued success in your career.

Pros

Seeing a pattern of addressing only the pros and rarely having any accountibiloty to comments in Cons section, Pros will not be listed here.

Cons

-Hyper critical work culture to point that compromises employee personal and office morale -Almost no field support and field between on-site field team is almost impossible -Field supervisors are spread very thin in responsibility which causes the above issues -Employee personal dislikes are apparent on teams which lead to discordant team dynamics. Ex. Team member will laugh and joke with some team members, but other get professional, but near frigid responses. -Favoritism is rampant creating a less than ideal work environment.
