Pros

Great Team Members, Big Name Clients, Good technology and tools to get the work done, lots of potential, company believes it can be the greatest firm on the globe over time.

Cons

Leadership does not know how to manage, more of a staff aug company, no real processes more smoke and mirrors, Promotions come with strings and 80 work weeks, work life balance is preached but not real. Leadership actually cannot deliver projects, but micro manages the results after a project fails due to bad leadership.

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
