Pros
- Freshly graduated highest onboard as a class which allows you to make many friends - Challenging environment that forces you to learn new skills - More concerned about billability than making sure employees are getting the resources they need to succeed.
Cons
- Work/Life balance is horrible during the day. Back to back meetings with no breaks. Many days I do not have time to eat lunch because of meetings. - MA does not understand what a human needs to maintain a sound mental health. We are not robots. We have feelings. - High churn, and nothing is done to fix the reason why people leave. The problem is not working late, it’s how we are treated. - You are not set up for success, and when you fail they point to you as the problem. - Burn out and high employee churn in first 2 years - Poor feedback system that is top down and biased - Employees have to beg for product training and still do not receive adequate training. More time is spent on general security training and ethics than on training on how to deal with clients and product training - PMs need to have better training and do a better job preparing their teams. A pattern of adhoc meetings with little planning. - No trust in associates when calling out large problems. Managers do not take action to solve middle management problems, but will still say “We are here to support you.” - Clients pay senior prices for projects with non senior employees. - Unrealistic timelines with low amount of project resources.
