Pros

The culture is second to none. Everyone I had the pleasure of working with was brilliantly smart and dedicated, willing to help even when not super convenient for them. The culture is the company's biggest strength You learn a great deal of soft and hard skills as you progress. You're also expected to learn quickly and are given a lot of responsibility early - which is a positive and helps you grow.

Cons

The hours can be long which is the nature of consulting. 401k and benefits are not that great

Pros

Strong culture and collaborative environment with smart, supportive colleagues. Admins are trusted partners and get exposure to senior leadership, which provides great learning opportunities. Compensation and benefits are competitive compared to similar roles.

Cons

Workload can be high, with admins often supporting multiple stakeholders while also providing backup coverage. Expectations can vary widely depending on the team, which can create inconsistency and pressure. Career growth paths are less structured and require a lot of self-direction. Work-life balance can be challenging at times, especially across time zones.
