Pros

Lots of very energetic and smart folks Potential to pitch your ideas and drive your own path High end clients, so big budgets to work with Events and after work activities

Cons

As an hourly consultant, insane pressure to hit 40+ billable weeks WLB is not real for the lower level folks, or people staffed out to clients Benefits lower then other firms of this type Growth stagnant do to internal culture Being a 40+ white male used against you by your bosses More technical folks commonly under promoted, kept in worker bee roles to be more billable so you leadership is not as knowledgeable as your teams. This leads to issues and tension between your technical staff and others. Was told remote working was a future, was a total lie...have to be either close to the office, or willing to fly and live on site at a client....not real remote opportunities.

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
