Pros

Amazing people, respect from people at all levels. So easy to connect with and meet everyone. Lots of fun events and a cool office. Most of the people that work here have the greatest energy and will support you in any way.

Cons

There are a lot of great benefits but unfortunately, my experience was outweighed by an extremely toxic manager that was a bully with coworkers that would throw you under the bus. If I had to call into work sick, I was made to feel guilty and ask how sick I was. I saw another review on here that seemed similar to my own experience when I shared with my manager and HR that I suffered with depression and anxiety and how not only was it getting severely worse as a result of my job, but it had also been impacting it. The response I received was blank stares, simply asking how can we help even though they really would not be able to actually support you, and hearing "well that's the job." If you are looking for a true work-life balance and an organization that ACTUALLY will support you and your mental health, look elsewhere. I received so much respect and appreciation of my hard work but the complete opposite from my direct manager. The pressure is extremely high, especially as all offices continue to grow. The cliquiness and toxic culture were experienced with the internal teams and much higher compared to consultants I spoke with.

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
