Pros
- Some very nice people, including some I've worked with in the past. However, this is largely dependent on getting staffed on the right projects. - The health insurance isn't bad. Maybe a little more costly than some other companies but definitely not the worst. - Bonuses have been based on individual performance in the past and seem to be holding, but that is changing.
Cons
- No visibility into sales pipeline, but the word was it is non-existent as evidenced by people on the bench and not getting assignments - Most assignments are staff augmentation, not consulting. This means you are mostly on your own without the support of the larger team and do what the client tells you to do by filling a seat instead of driving innovation and being a valued advisor. - Pay is below the industry average. I took a pay cut to come on board. - Staffing in our practice used to be handled by a single person and was proactive. Now it is distributed across the client teams as they use AI tools to search for matching talent. And the talent tool is lacking and doesn't capture a true picture of the resource. - Lip service to being an AI-First company while not having the leading industry AI toolset to equip their employees. Some bad decisions on partnerships with questionable AI tool producers and no buy in from clients. - Quiet layoffs with no communication to the remaining employees, even when asked directly about it. There is little transparency into these decisions and that affects morale. - Move to industry vertical reporting structure means your manager may not even understand your role or be able to mentor you in it.
