Pros

Work/Life Balance: It's very rare to work more than 40-45 hrs per week. Most consultants are efficient enough to get their work done without having to work OT Company Culture: Great camaraderie. Everyone in the company seems to get along with each other. Company events are very social and quite fun.

Cons

Work not Challenging: For better or for worse, most of the work is staff augmentation. The firm is not large enough to staff a large scale project leveraging multiple teams Cliquish: There's definitely an "in-crowd" that force feeds company pride down your throat. Performance Reviews include a section that measures how "involved" you are with attending/planning company events.

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
