Pros

Pay is decent but lags behind competitors in the same field. The people who do the work are generally pretty nice (but there are some real ego trippers for sure, especially the higher up you go into management and leadership). As far as consultants go though people aren't as bad as bigger consulting firms. Hybrid workplace. Generally pretty cool social outings. Decent branded materials. Big name clients, though the work tends to be closer to staff augmentation stuff.

Cons

I'm leaving this review as a warning: they just swapped one ineffective lame duck CEO (wow congrats on multiple layoff periods in one year!) for a way way worse one who couldn't lead his way out of a wet paper bag (nice job promoting unqualified people into SLT that caused chaos and turmoil!) All you really need to know is that people, especially men, continuously stumble and fail into better titles with more money here. It doesn't matter how hard you work or how good your work is. If you're not best friends with a senior director or managing director or C-title, you'll likely get told you're the problem before getting cut in another batch of layoffs one day without any warning. I think the grossest part is that they act really nice and say a lot of feelgood buzzwords but then you see the mess of leadership and the passive aggressiveness and it's just gross. There ARE good people here, but not enough to make up for the loudest egomaniacs partying at the top. They don't care so long as they get to take their extended trips while someone else does their work.
