Pros

I loved working at this company initially, the work time was flexible, the people were awesome and the projects were fun.

Cons

Once I made senior I started to struggle. I didnt have as easy of a time lining up projects and a lot more of the work was staff aug. I got really burnt out and found it hard to try out other areas of consulting because there wasnt a lot of learning opportunities or accounts where you could grow. The year I got laid off they finally added some more tools for professional development but it was hard to understand how watching a 20 min youtube clip on AI would then help convince a partner to let me in on a project that involves AI. I didnt really see the connect there. I think the last year I was super burnt out and honestly felt stuck. Should have left sooner.

Pros

Varied client work — Different clients and project types, which keeps things interesting. Real project mobility — You can move between projects when you advocate for yourself (within reason). Approachable leadership — Senior leaders are open to conversations if you reach out. Good development resources — Plenty of training and growth opportunities if you take advantage of them. Strong teams — Colleagues are smart, capable, and great to work with. Entrepreneurial environment — New ideas are encouraged, and there’s room to take initiative.

Cons

Long hours vary by project — Like most any professional job, some engagements require extended hours for prolonged periods, but work–life balance really depends on the client and team. Additional internal responsibilities — Depending on level, there can be a significant amount of firm‑support work outside of client delivery. Domain alignment not guaranteed — You may not always be staffed on projects that match your domain expertise. Coaching alignment constraints — Coaching relationships are tied to domain, which limits flexibility in choosing formal mentors. Long engagements (sometimes) — Some projects run for long durations or through multiple extensions. It can provides stability but may reduce variety in client and project experience depending on what you’re looking for.
