Pros

None at all. It's a pretty bad place to work.

Cons

They are worried about "utilization". They like to say there's unlimited PTO but there isn't. They also like to threaten a lot and definitely seem some civil charges in their future. In the grand scheme of it, people here are highly under skilled and just administrative waste to their clients. I quit because I just work for fun. Poor, old wimp of a coworker was very arrogant and highly ignorant. Liked to brag about their accomplishments, while I quietly kept quiet. Boss was just as bad. Jokes on them. They don't have 1.3 million dollars in liquidity or apparently any career aspirations or they wouldn't be working here hahaha.

Pros

I work directly with excellent people. My immediate colleagues are collaborative, capable, and committed to doing high-quality work for clients.

Cons

The biggest challenges tend to come from the corporate side of the organization. Corporate processes and communication can sometimes feel disconnected from the needs of project teams, which creates unnecessary friction. In addition, benefits that were once stronger, including 401(k) matching and medical coverage, have been significantly reduced. A recent example is the increased emphasis on “utilization rates” in merit increases. While utilization is understandable in a consulting environment, tying it too heavily to merit can effectively penalize employees for using earned vacation time and can make PTO feel less like a real benefit.
