Pros

Work-life balance, interesting projects, good clients, amazing coworkers, 12 weeks of paid family leave, benefits package, stock program, plenty of work backlog.

Cons

Not agressive enough with hiring staff to support the team. ZERO internal equity with pay. New hires require large compensation packages while existing, committed employees (including management) are promised compensation adjustments due to a market review process and given negligible adjustments. As a supervisor, we were given talking points for the 2023 rate review period of how to explain to employees that wages are NOT tied to inflation and they should be happy with what is provided. I'm aware of other comparable companies giving multiple inflation adjustments to all employees regardless of position as opposed to trying to convince employees it's not a factor. There is a lot of discussion around retention but no real efforts to fix the issue.

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.
