Pros
CrossCountry continues to be too good to be true. I have been here for about 2 years now and am continually blown away by how much leadership truly cares about each of the consultants. At other consulting firms, we are just names to fill holes at clients, but here, I feel like we are valued. Leadership is on our side to grow towards our career goals. I do think people have to be realistic about consulting in general. We can’t expect that every project aligns exactly with every single desire, but I feel that the leadership here could not do a better job of trying to make that happen. The people are amazing. If leadership has something down perfectly, it is hiring the best people. Leadership fosters a warm community of support and collaboration. There is no toleration for people stepping on each other to get to the next level, which is unfortunately the norm at my other company where I have worked. The projects are incredibly diverse and interesting. I have been on one project that went longer than expected, but I know that was out of everyone’s control. Beyond that, I have been on some really interesting clients and have grown professionally here.
Cons
Like I mentioned, one of my project dragged on for a bit longer than expected, but I will say I felt supported knowing that my account lead was pushing for an end date from the client.
