Pros

Every client projects presents new learning opportunities for consultants. The work is diverse and interesting. Excellent support for alternative work schedules. Excellent information sharing.

Cons

Merger is not fully complete and internal systems are still grinding against each legacy firm. Yes, over time this will go away, but right now it is very cumbersome and clunky. Both legacy firms had very strong performance culture, which means if you rest of your laurels, you are out.

Pros

Paycheck is great, people to work with are generally very intelligent, positive and professional. Many positions are work from home or at least hybrid. Continuous learning is encouraged. Since the company is technically British, it is very inclusive and has several networks to ensure inclusion (although some such as the menopause support group are UK based which isn't surprising as the US doesn't typically care about such things though they should).

Cons

The workload is often insane to put it mildly. You are expected to sort of "do everything". When you are encouraged to speak up if you have too much work, they pretty much tell you "well you just have to figure out how to get it done because we have to give you more work". There is blatant favoritism. Those who are liked are praised for giving detailed answers on calls and granted a month off of PTO while those not as well liked get grilled when they ask for one day off and are told "not to overthink" when they try to provide detailed answers.
