Pros

The team consists largely of dedicated, capable professionals, which fosters a positive working environment. Communication from leadership is relatively open, although often unclear. The nature of the work is dynamic and engaging, with a wide variety of ongoing initiatives. Company-sponsored events and retreats are well-executed and enjoyable.

Cons

The organizational culture leans heavily toward a traditional consultancy ethos, with significant influence from firms like MK and PwC. This can lead to an emphasis on optics over impact and contributes to an identity more aligned with a boutique firm than a nimble startup. Some leaders in the company have consistently created friction across teams, causing morale and productivity to plummet. These leaders continued presence, despite widespread issues, raises concerns about executive judgment and the firm's adaptability. Pay is middling and may not meet expectations in competitive markets. The semi-annual review cycle is cumbersome and widely regarded as inefficient. There has been a notable pattern of layoffs, leadership exits, and erosion of core talent.
