Pros

1. Good quality of work 2. Great teammates who share your workload, and truly help you when you are in need 3. If you want to work in a specific field, they will get you projects 4. Trustworthy executive management

Cons

1. Mid management, specifically ADs and Ds are selfish in sharing their bounty 2. Too much cross-department politics. Sometimes, really unbearable. You could notice them fighting like cats and dogs. 3. Mid management lazy to venture out current trends. They just need to fill their sales credit brackets easily, so try the same thing which has worked. 4. They look at numbers and profits, and don't invest in bringing in right talent; resulting in existing employees overworking. 5. Heavily underpaid, and overworked. People stay because of their teammates and not because the company keeps them happy. 6. Heavy attrition rate. In my years working, I see more people quit than currently staying.

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.
