Toxic Culture

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Compensation, location, and flexibility to work from home on Fridays.

Cons

Toxic work culture. Lean teams with one staff and an engagement manager. Every week there is a tight deadline that you are expected to meet with razor accuracy and precision. No mistakes are tolerated and if you do make mistakes (however minimal) you are berated in front of other colleagues. The engagement managers will not hesitate to throw lower level staff under the bus. Frankly within 1 month of being on my first project I was miserable and wanted to leave.

Pros

Pay is good, company is competitive with other brands

Cons

Very convoluted strategy at the top, CEO surrounds himself with a bunch of yes people around him who are severely incompetent and no one dare raises their voice. Aggressive bully culture with focus on things that don't make sense to focus on. Huge retention issues with rainmakers, severe gaps in how people are paid or treated.

Decent entry level, but many better places

Pros

- Fair/good pay - Straight forward promotion structure - Consulting in general is a good career starter - Had 1-2 solid project managers when I was here, so I guess not everyone sucks - There is a Women Initiative Network (WIN), but no other sort of diversity/minority groups

Cons

- Many people are unhappy here.. some people leave without another offer at hand - Lots of complaints about it being an "old boys' club" as you move up; lots of men in management and not a good representation of women - Minimal room for growth / very little opportunities to be challenged - Management shows little to no care about employee growth / culture - Leadership lacks the "leadership" skills - don't know how to manage, lead, nor inspire their teams - Experience dependent on project staffing - possible to get stuck on a crap project for years or on a great project (those don't last) - Methodologies and technology used is way behind peers. There are much better financial and data analytics consulting firms who are working with bigger clients and working with more advanced technologies --> you should go to one of those instead. - Expensive health insurance policy
