Pros

-Remote work flexibility (though leadership has tried walking it back, most client engagements are still remote). -Lasting friendships with genuinely kind, competent colleagues, many of whom shared my misgivings. -Decent reputation meant it was not too hard to find another job. -One particularly good person is a senior leader and he seems to understand the big picture.

Cons

-Most of the good leaders are largely powerless under private equity ownership. -Low compensation with negligible raises or bonuses, regardless of performance or client satisfaction. -Poor WLB, benefits just ok, and a chaotic ever-shifting performance review process. -No meaningful advancement opportunities or interest in professional development. Promotion and visibility are tied solely to internal politics. -Staffing resembles musical chairs, with limited effort to match skillsets to project needs. Bench support is minimal. -Constant fear of layoffs. -Proposal development is a mess. -Little brother C-suite fixated on Deloitte / other better consulting firms and a disingenuous push towards AI. -Weak client service standards and a lack of subject matter expertise across many teams.
