Pros

Most teams go into the office once a week, so the work from home flexibility is nice. Work life balance is solid compared to other consulting fims.

Cons

No real culture, in large part because people are mostly remote. Very unorganized and poorly run (example - I accepted a job offer to work out of the D.C. office. Start my first day and find out my project works out of Tyson’s, forcing me to commute an hour more. I was also given the impression that a full-time return to office was imminent. 2 years later and it’s still mostly remote). Benefits aren’t great. Ridiculous promotion and bonus system where your periods of performance end on Dec 31/July 31, but you don’t get your bonuses or pay raises until mid-March and and late September. Promotions are also based on segment performance, so if the company is having a banner year overall, but you’re a rockstar in a poor-performing segment, tough luck.

Pros

40 work week - that's only pro I can think of

Cons

The incompetency of this company is mind blowing. I quit after 11 weeks because every step had issues. Here's a few of the lowlights. They told me I had the wrong start date (after I had already attended orientation), took 6 weeks to get a laptop (including them sending it half way across the country to the wrong person, sending it to me with no power cable, twice failing to get me the power cable on subsequent tries, and my login ID card not being set up properly), being berated at a family-attended company picnic by an executive for not going into the office (I was told my job was fully remote), not get paid the full amount of my final paycheck, and finally, receiving a random check 2 months later for no reason other than more incompetency from the company. I literally did no work for the company because the mangers were so disorganized that they couldn't figure out what to have me work on. I asked numerous times and got nothing. Pay was terrible to boot.

Pros

The culture is fairly laid back and management recognizes that you have a life outside of work and so they respect your work/life balance Good opportunities for career growth Some very smart, capable, and driven people work here who you can learn a lot from.

Cons

Compensation increases from year to year are low. get the number you want when you walk in and be prepared to fight for compensation increases every few years to get compensated for your growth and impact. Benefits are average at best. The past few years I would say they have slowly been making reductions (wealth builder , cell phone stipend, etc.) without much new offerings in return. They rolled out headspace but only after many months of kicking the can down the road and even then its not much of a benefit if you don't like to mediate...
