Pros

Work/Life is good relative to other consulting companies, but not for tech companies

Cons

It's all about appearances. All talk, no walk. Make sure you're dressed nicely and are physically present. Get certs even if you know nothing else. Constant garbage about filling out surveys for best work awards or whatever. Lots of emphasis on how everyone's open to feedback, but when I gave negative feedback about a manager, suddenly my performance is a concern when it hadn't been before. Uh-huh. For all the emphasis on being inclusive, I felt completely isolated and ostracized here. The office politics is nauseating.

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
