Pros

Wonderful team with diverse backgrounds. No matter what it is you’re doing chances are someone else here has done it before and they can guide you through it if you have questions. Mentorship program is great, I wish I had started my career here. I think it would’ve been easier to grasp the fundamentals given how structured the program is. Reasonable timelines and budgets! Rarely need to work OT and if you do they allow for OT pay (I think only for the first 3 years or so)

Cons

Pay is not as competitive as some of the other consulting firms, although it is still quite above average

Pros

The 401k is good, that's it..

Cons

The main complaint is having to beg for work within the company. They don't have enough work to give you and then complain that your overhead is too high. Communication and training is terrible. I've sent numerous emails to coworkers only to be ignored. You have to keep reaching out for someone to respond to you. The project managers also don't budget the labor for their projects well. They're very tight about how many hours you should spend on an assignment and it's often unreasonable, like read and compare a 600+ page document to a 300+ page technical document in 2 work days. The health insurance sucks too. Things that used to be covered are no longer covered such as basic labs. The insurance carrier is always denying services such as an MRI.
