Pros

Some nice people here and there (those that haven't fully succumbed to the Kool-aid). PTO is generous even for early career folks (but watch out for flexible PTO, they expect leaders to be on all the time and to limit PTO even when it's unlimited).

Cons

Bought into the "work life balance" mantra but turned out leadership is so heavily x-Accenture that behind closed doors management complains about anyone who isn't working more than 45 hrs/week. Workloads were unsustainable and women consistently underpaid compared to male counterparts. Promised annual professional development spend as part of compensation package but was only allowed to use it twice across 8 years—told repeatedly that the company couldn't afford to provide everyone with professional development spend (so then why did you offer it?).

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
