Pros

Unparalleled project ownership, you can shape your own role, huge opportunity for impact, relatively little red tape. Good pay, subsidized benefits, emphasis on work/life balance. Recognition and appreciation abound.

Cons

Corporate politics like whoa. Legacy org structure that makes no sense. Seeming inability of leaders to make tough decisions, such as deprioritizing an obsolete initiative or declaring a project not up to par. Inability of upper levels to say no forces lower levels into weird, endless, unpleasant power struggles and makes it hard to get things done.

Great opportunity to grow as an individual based off of your technical and behavioral skillset.

If you are not assigned to a client, you could be on the bench which will affect your bonus.

Pros

Compared to other consulting firms, the flexibility in the management here has been amazing. In my experience, teams do whatever they can to get the job done but also acknowledge that we have lives outside of work and are accommodating to that.

Cons

Pay is not competitive compared to other consulting firms and leadership is not as innovative as they could be.
