Pros

You get a so-so laptop PC assigned to you when you start.

Cons

You can't believe the all of the things that they tell you/sell you on when you are hiring in. No work-life balance. Arrogant, smug and unseasoned managers. The company relies on its BIG NAME and appearance (you MUST wear a neck-tie to work every day - cough-cough). Although the company claims a good work-life balance, you will quickly find yourself working 24/7 with little or no time-off - even on weekends. It is a good place to start your career - IF you are a new graduate who will work your a$$ off and get brainwashed into believing the company's mantra. The company goes to great lengths to make you believe that it is the greatest place on earth to work, yet you will find yourself working ALL of the time, 24/7, while the company is billing the client for your every waking, working hour. Do yourself a BIG favor, pass on this employer and look for a more solid company that treats their employees better! Here, you are a salaried employee, and must bow to the local partner who considers himself to be king of the world.

Pros

Good work-life balance, decent pay and benefits, still mostly remote

Cons

Disorganized leadership, no trust from upper management or of upper management. The company has completely sold it soul and bent over backwards to accommodate the current administration, going above and beyond what would be required, eliminating all traces of anything diversity related. The organization is in a complete freefall and leadership, because they have only ever spent their career at one company being this one, is completely ill-equipped and uninformed on how to address or position it properly for a future. Never been more disappointed in my employer. Moving onto something new and can’t wait.

Pros

Brightest and friendliest peers Good starting PTO accrual rate Interesting projects

Cons

Completely siloed across LOBs making it highly unlikely to find projects outside of your own sector Leadership decided employees were expendable despite having record profits each consecutive quarter while I was employed there No serious attempt was made by senior leadership to mitigate layoffs or realign people to sectors that were less impacted by DOGE cuts Lack of meaningful career progression unless you stayed 10+ years Some of the lowest compensation pay out of all consulting firms No annual bonuses Annual raises were a joke regardless of your performance Virtually no opportunities to travel to client sites. If you are outside the government client's hub area, your pool of available work/contracts shrinks dramatically
