Pros

- Friendly group of people who have a lot of social outings, provide solid onboarding programs, lots of community service options (if you want to) - Beer on tap in the office (I know awesome) - A competitive- but not against each other environment. Also provide a lot of freedom to employees to take charge on new initiatives they are interested in. - Provide an opportunity after 3-4 years to invest in the company. Senior leadership also seems very open to listening to new ideas regardless of status - No forced travel for Local teams - Pay seems competitive for local consulting gigs - Pretty open to investing in your self improvement/ anything other than actual tuition reimbursement

Cons

- Could provide more clarity on how the bonus program works - Terrible 401K options (25% match on up to 6%... 1.5%) - Poor Vacation time (3 Weeks) - Sabbatical is great and all, but if you're promoted to a higher position (where you aren't billable all the time) you aren't going to be eligible and still get poor PTO. - No Sick Days - Can be clicky/ fratty (I believe I heard one of the newly appointed senior leaders use the term, "That's Gay"

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
