      Do Better

      Consultant

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some good people, and there are a few cool projects. Company also knows how to have fun.

      Cons

      Long bench-time, lack of transparency, low merit increases, "good 'ol boys" club, staff aug work, recruiting team lies to you to get you to join, terrible diversity (especially in leadership positions), low bonus, below standard PTO, worst 401k matching I've ever seen.

      talks like a big 4 but run like a staffing franchise

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great place for ex-big 4 consultants who want to get off the road. Strong socializing culture. Recruiting does a great job building up the possibilities.

      Cons

      It's really a body shop run by ex-senior managers who never received leadership training or experience. You are on your own to promote yourself, so sucking up to the MD's is a must to get ahead.

      Worst experience in my 20+ year career

      Director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Amazing people Director level and below. I loved my team. They do pay well, but I’d trade that back for all the time and effort I gave this company. You couldn’t 10x my salary to make me go back to this company.

      Cons

      Where do I start? Terrible leadership with zero accountability. You are a number to this company, no matter how much they talk about caring for their employees. I can’t even begin to mention the numerous amount of unprofessional experiences I endured from upper management. I wouldn’t ever recommend being a part of this company to anyone, nor would I recommend anyone do business with them. It’s a sinking ship losing 40% of its revenue in 2 years. I witnessed 5 rounds of layoffs in my time there, across multiple departments. HR is there to protect the company and not the employees. Their firing strategy was the most unprofessional I’ve ever seen or heard of. People with 10+ years gone over an email from HR.
