Pros

The pay is larger than smaller consulting firms

Cons

Onboarding is the weakest of any company I've been a part of. They denied my request for reasonable accommodations for a disability and a week later put me on a performance improvement plan. When I left the company they conspired to deny me unemployment benefits and lost a full paycheck owed to me with no incentive to track down how/why it was lost and how to proceed forward. Genuinely the worst company I've ever come into contact with.

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.
