Pros

Remote work option available to some, not sure if its the same for all employees.

Cons

Worst leave policy ever. In the name of unlimited PTO/discretionary time off, you ONLY get 2.5 weeks leave for the entire year for everything including sick days and training, If you want to take anymore leave, you need to work extra hours and compensate. Employer is aware that 2.5 weeks off annually is extremely limited and that the employees are extremely dissatisfied, but they wouldn’t do anything even after multiple feedback submissions from employees regarding this issue. An employer who really cares about the welfare of the employees will never do this to them. The pay is also not on par with the DC metro area salaries, and no bonus options whatsoever. But the company takes up numerous initiatives to maximize the performance, productivity and efficiency of employees at all costs. What a hypocrisy!!

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.
