Pros

Nice work environment, lots of flexibilities, friendly co-workers and management team. Great experience. Work Life balance?...occasionally

Cons

There always seemed to be barriers between management and employee. Most information received from the management has been "polished" before announced to the employees. Was surprised to hear from an end annual review meeting by a corporate senior management talk: "our next year goal is to keep 95% of leadership team". Then in the early coming year there were about 1/3 local workforce got laid off (non of them were managers); among them included a going- to-be parent who was one of the best performers in the office. So does that mean beside the leadership team, the rest are just as a "number" or "tool" in the company point of view?

Pros

You will be working with great minds. People have their niches expertise and it’s wonderful to learn from them. Very professional and respectful behavior. Doesn’t feel like other consulting firms where you’re worked like a dog.

Cons

Sometimes it’s hard to build consistent work because people tend to hold on to their projects rather than transferring to junior staff and it’s mainly because the pressure to be billable is high.
