Terrible pay and no opportunities to advance. Hardworking employees are exploited.

Pros

I left because there weren't any pros. I mean, what's the point in putting up with a lot of stress when you aren't getting anything from it?

Cons

Terrible pay and not a lot of opportunities to advance. Don't bother trying to outperform your coworkers, because instead of getting a raise, you're just going to be relied upon more and assigned heavier workloads while still receiving the same salary.

Business Outlook

Pros

Varies by project but there are some managers and partners who are very human and genuinely care to help promote you. Unfortunately, the low budget and recent changes to the structure give them less say.

Cons

Excessive pressure since they relied so heavily on the federal contracts that were cut, but it was on a downward trend before that. Since 3 years ago, they increased utilization targets and changed floating holidays to affect your utilization, effectively increasing expectations for the year by 4 work days. This year had rounds of layoffs that said it was for underperformers, but was more for people who slightly missed the utilization targets due to the cancelled contracts and were on the bench. It’s a business and billed hours are required for profits, but this company is changing and the whiplash of changes that only benefit the top is draining. Morale is low and budgets for bonuses are low.

Pros

I like have this company has employee networks and CSR events where you can volunteer and do different events in the company

Cons

Low pay compared to other consulting companies. High expectations to over perform just to get a 3/5 at the end of the year. Impossible to find a new project with the new government direction
