Pros

People I worked with individually were very kind and supportive. I was also very lucky and had great managers who advocated for me and ensured that I had opportunities to grow.

Cons

On the surface, it might look like they are working on DEI initiatives. However, under the surface, it was truly an uphill battle to be heard by the executive team. Meaningful change within the organization regarding DEI was unbearably, discouragingly, and painfully slow. It took a lot of people to speak up multiple times before ideas such as a more diverse recruiting strategy or celebrating MLK day as a holiday to be considered and eventually implemented. It was also frustrating/discouraging to have to show up to work and have to work alongside people who did not understand why people were feeling sad/angry/upset about the things going on in our country ("why can't we leave politics out of the workplace"). It was also difficult to know who to trust when it came to expressing how we really feel, which then led to an underground network of private conversations and having to hide how we really feel.

Pros

Strong launchpad for early career consultants. Great exposure to varied clients, tech stacks, and industries within your first couple of years. Smart, driven colleagues and a structured mentorship model that genuinely invests in your growth. Clear promotion path with well-defined expectations at each level. If you're motivated and self-directed, you can grow faster here than at most places.

Cons

You work for it. Hours can run long depending on the project, and utilization expectations are real. A lot of your trajectory depends on the project you get staffed to and how well you advocate for yourself. Not the place if you want a predictable 40 hour week or a hands-off environment. Burnout is a risk if you don't set your own boundaries early.
