Pros

People act nice. Many events with food and drinks.

Cons

The last few years have been very bad with high attritions and dirty work place politics. Its very common to see someone else take credit of all your work and be rewarded for it. The company is full of "leaders" who lack basic understanding of the work they deliver/sell and have 0 accountability but are there because they are friends with the right people and are white. The HR is completely helpless and policy is driven by practice MDs , they create exceptions as and when they want. The "leaders" lack any sense accountability and would hide behind random events to cover up their failures. In 2022 they tried to whitewash a lot of problems as "growing pains" however when you look at the numbers they were actually shrinking ! Now they've started attributing all the problems to the "economy" and "market conditions". When the times are good though it's all because of them , when they were accepting promotions every 6 months based on hardly one or two successful sales pitches , no one said that " the market is so hot or the economy is doing so well and selling in this market is a cake walk" It' was all because of their handwork and talent but when things go south it's because of external factors.

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
