Pros

Their parties are the only positive things. Everything else is like a modern day game of thrones. There is isn't much positives to say about this place.

Cons

They are absolutely not a consulting company. I've only ever been staffed in IA projects and have not done one consulting job. They are "encourage" you to leave positive reviews on the company on job websites. They are so conferences with the "greatest places to work" surveys. Give me a break. I'm currently looking for a new job as we speak! Everything is favoritism. People move up based on who they are massaging. It's not based on merit.

Pros

Good Culture, decent pay, not overworked too much.

Cons

Repetitive, meaningless, and boring work, hard to pivot out of this career once started. Also, the consulting career feels like such a fake job at times. Doesn't feel like real work. Makes you question your life decisions. I'd recommend any college grads to think about their future career goals first before joining. I joined on a whim and wish I spent more time interviewing. It's been incredibly difficult to pivot out of internal audit and sox compliance once you are in it. However, if you are really good at corporate politics and advocating for yourself you may be able to pivot out of the IAFA solution . However, not sure how that lends it self if you want to leave the company.
