Pros

The teams I work with are great. Supportive team, hard workers. The culture is great (though believe they are in hard time causing to decrease).

Cons

Staffing agency at heart (though depends on the department you are in). the individual contributor roles are difficult and sometimes the only available items. The firm tries hard to state we are not (but in actuality we are - that's how the company started) The leaders are very much thought leaders and not so much implementers. This is difficult when projects are declining and all you get are philosophised responses that do not help. It feels very fake when you chat with certain leaders who love to hear themselves speak. Promotions are odd and requires the consultant to sell themselves to dozens of people. I understand it's a great way to understand how to pitch yourself but it is vastly different from traditional promotions where you are recommended by 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
