Pros

- No travel model - Good culture - Happy hours, quarterly meetings and annual get away - Strong IT/Technical practices - Sabbatical after three years (and 3,000 billable hours ...they fail to highlight this point)

Cons

The following mainly speak to the Business Consulting practice in the Dallas market - Staff Augmentation type work - Weak Business Consulting practice - Little to no strategy work in the Dallas office. Majority of the work is Project Management and Business Analysis. - Recent hires are coming in with zero consulting experience - No practice specialty in the Dallas market to grow or build around - Little transparency when requested (evaluations, bonuses, staffing, etc) - Very few opportunities for career advancement

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
