Pros
I found that most colleagues were genuinely passionate about the work being done and it’s a much more manageable pace for those coming from mainstream consulting firms. There’s a strong adherence to the company’s “manifesto” and core values that verges on corny at times.
Cons
The company itself is trying to do too much at once and it has led to a lot of turnover and restructuring in the last few years. While it’s not Big 4 there are high expectations for productivity and billing to clients. Pay is often not in line with these expectations and the manifesto doesn’t pay bills. Benefits are also not competitive with other larger consulting firms. They didn’t even have a formal parental leave program until 2024. Employee development is very self directed as opposed to manager driven which could be beneficial to some but leads to very inconsistent leadership development and mentorship opportunities across the firm.
