Pros

- good salary and overall package - good for people who start their career (it gives a good first or early experience with challenges) or has already a strong network to propose a diversity of missions.

Cons

- Well being of the employee completely ignored: client at all cost! You could be a willing and hard working consultant, your interest will never prime. You could give it all until it impacts your physical and mental health, but would get nothing in return (career and interests wise). I have never seen so many burnouts and sick leaves across all the companies I was in my career. - They will not put you in mission where you do not have an expertise. Hence, if you do not already have various skills and knowledge, they will most likely trap you into a mission, just to bill, even if you do not like it and it does not fit you. - Linked to the above: very hard to learn new knowledge. If intellectual curiosity is what you seek, look elsewhere. - Management/HR with unappropriate behavior (strongly related to the above-mentioned points).

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are concerned to read your comments around wellbeing and burnout. We are committed to supporting the wellbeing and mental health of our employees, and generally see low levels of sick leave across our business, so we would encourage anyone who needs additional support to reach out to their HR Business Partner or a member of the leadership team. Consulting can be demanding, but development, learning opportunities, and meaningful career conversations should always be part of the experience. Every employee is supported by a dedicated coach, alongside access to our Career Pathways Hub and an extensive and growing training curriculum to help build new skills and explore different opportunities. We are continuing to strengthen how we support career mobility, skill development, and manager capability. We appreciate your candid feedback and wish you continued success.

Pros

- Good work-life balance - Nice people - Cool office (Empire State Building)

Cons

- Low raises + bonuses (promotions are highly political/based on who you know) - Low mobility on certain projects - Difficult to get involved in planning/helping with community events (part of performance review) - Leadership positions competitive rates as our differentiator (i.e., firm competes on cost rather than on technical depth/expertise relative to peer firms)
