Pros

Since joining the firm just a few years ago, there have definitely been a lot of changes that happened very quickly. But they have been for the better. Working in the professional services industry with technology companies, we had to eventually make some drastic changes to our processes - and I think we are starting to see the rewards of our hard work already. Pros: - Upper management is very transparent - Benefits are among the best in the industry - Work life balance is very attainable - Opportunities to advance your skills - Co-workers are very knowledgeable and willing to help

Cons

While a lot is great, there are always going to be downsides as well: Cons: - Some engagements are much more cumbersome than others - Compensation seems to not align with industry standards in some cases - Experiences here can be region dependent - Can feel some of the PE "squeeze" for efficiency

Pros

Management frequently improves benefits. Management really knows the business well. The company has historically been well insulated from economic downturns. So many opportunities to stand out and make a name for yourself

Cons

Data driven decisions still a work in progress. Long term vision is likely 1 ish year.

Pros

The people. Peers are great to work with and very supportive. Some of the leaders in the teams are as well. Perks were GREAT but have slowly been taken away or the costs went up.

Cons

Where do I begin? Wholesale executive turnover. Technology projects that we're supposed to say are awesome but aren't really that great. They take up more time to figure out than they're worth and we know those are meant to take our jobs. AI, offshore, temp labor. No thanks. It was a place I loved working at but has slowly just become a job that makes me feel like I should be watching for somewhere else to go. Just in case. The culture has changed quite a bit too. It used to feel like a place where we all wanted to work together but that's slowly fading.
