      Pros

      Well defined company values. Potential to work on interesting projects with Silicon Valley tech giants.

      Cons

      Middle managers lack people skills. Examples include being reprimanded for taking a sick day despite covering client work, not keeping confidential discussions anonymous, and general lack of support and sometimes hostility (raised voices and put-downs) when consultants turn to them for guidance. If we cannot rely on our managers, where can we turn? Work-life balance is heavily dependent upon the project. Poorly scoped or staffed projects appear to be the norm, but the concern is about making that dollar, often at the expense of clients and consultants.

      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
