Pros

It's a different type of place than any that I've worked at -- it tends to build around it's people in the company. People smile and bring their authentic selves to work every day, and you feel supported as a whole person.

Cons

It is a different type of place, and it can be rather discomforting. Projects are staffed with the assumption that you have the experience to succeed, vs. building an entire hierarchy around you so that you deliver a specific type of value. That's freedom, and it's also limiting -- without someone to push you, you really have to drive yourself. Entrepreneurs do very well.

Pros

people are very kind and its a great network to then have for life

Cons

I had 5 managers in 4 years, 3 of which promised me a promotion which I never got I was strung along in a seperate global team for a year and a half and then when I finally was moved to that group they fired 80% of us it's now an up or out company and people are leaving faster than business is coming in, that's been happening for 2 yrs my mental health was so bad i had two burnouts in a single year my last manager emotionally abused me and made me feel like i was a terrible person. I left believing that was why I was fired until i chatted with another former employee of this manager work life balance WAS a thing and in the last two years it's now that consultants are also responsible for selling, travel is a non-negotiable but expectations for travel are not transparent and can impact your yearly review, straight up not enough work and then senior management will make you feel bad for it
