Pros

Remote work, 401k, client travel

Cons

Advisory practice is completely rudderless. All of the competent people have left, and the rest (including senior leadership and the EVP) have no idea what to do. Re-orgs happen every 6 months and they can’t pay people enough to stay. Offshoring of talent to Argentina continues and the org proudly boasts about their large presence there now. Quiet layoffs and out-of-nowhere PIPs were common for years and have only accelerated.

Pros

- Real client-facing technical work in regulated/FedRAMP environments; good exposure if compliance-heavy cloud is your lane. - Internal mobility exists on paper; managers may encourage internal candidates for promotions. - New management clearly understands their assignment and is saying the right things and taking initial steps that appear to be moving us towards a strong path forward.

Cons

- Promotion paths can be unstable; roles may get restructured mid-process, which makes career planning hard. - Management quality is uneven; promotion into management isn't always tied to demonstrated leadership, technical capability, or appropriate vision. - Limited structured professional development. - Compensation progression can be a friction point, including for internal moves. - Bonus payouts have come in far below target even for top performers, which has been rough.
