Toxic leaders, childish culture

Consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay can be high if you have connections.

Cons

Leaders of the firm are lacking in the "leadership" capacity. Extremely political and childish environment. Several of the best employees and management left as fast as they could. Benefits continuously decline, people gossip a lot, and there is no transparency around bonus/career progression/work quality.

Business Outlook

Pros

Working at this firm will make you realize that the last job you left wasn’t so bad. Updating your resume is a common “best practice.”

Cons

Incompetent leadership. Former PwC Partners and Directors who couldn’t find employment elsewhere. Mostly white & male leadership at the top. Diversity & Inclusion initiatives are just an exercise to “check the box.” Staff augmentation model. Just work here if you want to collect a paycheck to pay your bills.

Operations and IT is a mess

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Talented people at the Managing Consultant, Sr. and Consultant level.

Cons

Leadership at the Partner level and C level needs an overhaul. People are being rewarded for bad behavior and leaders are in positions that they did not earn. A large group of Managing Directors were handed the title of Partner when the company switched to new classes. Some of these new Partners struggle to lead or grow small teams. Operations and IT are not what you would expect. IT does not have the support or the people we need to be taken seriously as a leader in global consulting. Segment leaders in a few areas are enablers of bad behavior and support leaders who should not be with the firm. Lack of strategy as a brand. High attrition across the firm.
