Pros

Smart people. Pushes people beyond comfort levels, which is great for growth. Offers opportunities for new skills. Pay is average. Vacation time better than most. Not micro managing.

Cons

GM focuses too much on client satisfaction than employee satisfaction, lots of focus on being billable at lower levels. Account managers focus too much on the numbers. Company values are emphasized a lot, but can not say I see them all the time applied. Favoritism exists for promotions, recently started to push females up the ladder.

Pros

Amazing culture, at least in this office. Catered lunch twice a week, and constant events and treats and free snacks. Experience can be very balanced in terms of work/life. Great benefits, including generous PTO policy.

Cons

Broader company has poor strategy, and clearly doesn't know what to do with the workforce they have as AI lowers the client pipeline and rates. Roles are only plentiful in the US if you are in Product or Project Management, as other capabilities are being offshored to save client budgets, and/or are being collapsed so that employees must vibe-AI their way into competency. This leads to sapped morale and poor output at the client level. As the company has been struggling - and as promotions become less likely to be approved - some of the most passionate folks in the company have left for greener pastures, or have been unceremoniously pushed out. This in turn has led to a weakening of office culture. Your work experience can also be variable - depending on seasonality, client pipelines, and role, you could be so busy you don't have time to care for yourself or so bored you are feigning productivity. More than is normal at other consulting companies, the workloads seem incongruent with who's being hired or not.
