Pros

- Fantastic, experienced, smart people to work with (no junior consultants!) - Lots of opportunities to help grow the business - both internally and externally (sales) - Super friendly culture with lots of social events - Low key, laid-back attitude balanced with high standards of delivery - Great facilities for such a small company - Highly flexible work environment - you can really live the consulting lifestyle here! - No travel unless you want to - Great salary and vacation - Very hands-off management, because they only hire senior consultants they trust you to do your job, manage your client, and work with your team

Cons

- Small market limits type of work and clients, which means sometimes you just have to do what you have to do! - No junior consultants means you have to do all the dirty work too :) - Benefits package is mediocre at best, I'm paying a lot more out of pocket - Flexibility comes with risk - if you're on the bench you only get paid 50% of your salary - Because it is a growing, small company - bad infrastructure (slow network, no knowledge management, very little process in place) - Just starting to define career paths - very little career management in place so you really have to find your own way

Pros

people are very kind and its a great network to then have for life

Cons

I had 5 managers in 4 years, 3 of which promised me a promotion which I never got I was strung along in a seperate global team for a year and a half and then when I finally was moved to that group they fired 80% of us it's now an up or out company and people are leaving faster than business is coming in, that's been happening for 2 yrs my mental health was so bad i had two burnouts in a single year my last manager emotionally abused me and made me feel like i was a terrible person. I left believing that was why I was fired until i chatted with another former employee of this manager work life balance WAS a thing and in the last two years it's now that consultants are also responsible for selling, travel is a non-negotiable but expectations for travel are not transparent and can impact your yearly review, straight up not enough work and then senior management will make you feel bad for it
