Cons
Kiss up Kickdown Culture Growth Opportunities are virtually non existent Pay is below industry average Top performers receive all of the work and none of the rewards Bonuses are flat (I.E not tied to performance). Everyone gets roughly the same bonus target regardless of input. Job growth is almost exclusively dictated by tenure. Older managers that have been grandfathered in may not actually have superb skills. (Example: a Senior Consultant once asked an analyst how to make a cell negative in excel.) Conservative culture has draining office politics All work is being moved to Tempe and India. There was more hiring and growth in India officially then in the U.S. for the past few years. This emphasis on cost cutting has made retaining decent talent impossible causing an attrition rate of roughly 33% yearly for the team. This has furthered a lack of social cohesion as most management doesn't even attempt to retain its workforce because they expect everyone to leave.
