Pros

Many different ways to learn the various aspects of consulting. i.e. Business development, sales, practice development, and community leadership. Great company to work for. Great comradery with team members, company culture is very driven towards performance. Has a lot of very high-performing individuals.

Cons

If you are trying to be promoted to anything above a Senior Consultant, it will take 2-3 years to be promoted. Need to prove sales will be met for the current year and next year. This is Highly dependent on the manager of your project and how they allocate sales. If the manager of your project is not a good manager, it can be hard to get a better rating than 3. Depending on the client, work-life balance can be challenging. Some clients require you to be onsite, others remote, others require travel. This changes with each client, the consultant does not always get a choice.

Pros

The pay and benefits are good, and I have enjoyed working with most of the people and clients I encountered. I don't believe there is any bias, and as long as you work hard and actively get on projects your pay will reflect. It is also nice to be fully remote

Cons

It can be difficult to move up if you aren't actively trying to network and do extracurricular activities such as help put on an event (remote or physical location) or go out of your way to put together a presentation just to help others learn something, and so forth and so on. Also, if you're not consistently on a project or getting billable work there is a high possibility of being let go.

Pros

Opportunities: From both community projects and main project work, you'll have the opportunity to work towards bunch of different tools/tech/certs. They'll support learning opportunities, but it will need to immediately help the business. People: Really nice people and a lot of them are very committed and hard working. WLB: While not great, I put it in pro because they are aware that the WLB is not great, but they have measures in place to try and limit lots of overtime.

Cons

Senior Management: MP's, Directors, and most Partners are great. It appears they have replaced the Co-CEO's which is great, but prior they brought on Co-CEO's who had some of the worst corporate communication delivery regarding RTO message. In an all-hands meeting, one of the Co-CEO's kept mentioning how "great looking our executive team is", directing his comments towards a female representative - this made the meeting incredibly uncomfortable. The market has also been struggling and going through layoffs, and when a question was asked if additional layoffs were to be expected, they answered "we have to keep our bench clean" - there was no direct/head-on or straightforward answer that a leader should provide. One of the major reasons I decided to leave. Pay: Pay is good, but much lower than most competitors, and it's a similar workload. Culture: Not that different from consulting orgs either; practices of hiring/firing/letting are arguably worse here, between layoffs and the alarmingly high level of furloughs. Growth: Incredibly difficult to get promoted. The framework is very clear, but even when an employee outperforms the framework, they are not performed. Lots of CO's were completing senior level work and above for multiple years never were promoted.
