Business Outlook

Pros

The location of the office was convenient to my apartment. I also gained a good understanding of how the consulting industry works and got to work on a variety of local projects in the area.

Cons

As an entry level employee, working in a very small team with little guidance was not a good environment for starting my career. I was also dissatisfied with our department's business model, management style, and our failure to win new contracts. I also felt very much in the dark regarding other tasks and items regarding projects I was working on and was never truly informed fully of the work I was performing.
