Generally Good with Room for Improvement to be Great

Senior consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Generally great people to work with... a good culture where people for the most part play nice together, interesting and diverse set of projects, flexible working policies e.g. remote or hybrid options, relatively low travel requirements compared to other consulting firms, great opportunities to take on leadership roles and drive internal initiatives (if you have bandwidth), can explore various projects outside of the division you were hired if desired

Cons

Leadership and internal initiatives are unorganized at times; sometimes people are forced into project management and operations projects, which is boring to most people and not strategic nor consulting-oriented work at all (a major driver of turn over); bonus is not market competitive/possibly sub par, base salary is fair; leadership could be more diverse

Wanted to leave after 4 months

Consultant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Had some great coworkers, we definitely trauma bonded over how awful our experience and project was.

Cons

No career growth, rules for promotion are not enforced and depends more on your relationship with your leadership. They don't care about your professional development - your year-end conversation will only be 10 minutes of the partner talking (and mid-year isn't taken seriously). Benefits and pay are not competitive - only got a $1,500 raise while I was there.

Pros

I guess they continue to grow fast

Cons

Owned by private equity firm so they are just trying to pump their staff while cutting benefits to look immensely profitable
