Pros

- clever consultants - free drinks and food - freedom to try new ideas and solutions - great business model of top consultants working at top clients locally

Cons

- unrealistic expectations of everyone selling services - toxic culture of back stabbing, gossiping, misleading all while smiling at you. - inconsistent and erratic leadership that supports the toxic culture - culture and values are on the wall but not engrained in how people are really treated

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
