Erosion of compensation

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

The employees are generally smart and competent.

Cons

Erosion of compensation and benefits: Utilization bonus - gone Performance bonus - gone Floating holidays - gone Ability to take DTO after parental leave - gone Every year new benefits and compensations are reduced. This has been going on for the last 5 years at least. A slow erosion year by year, they find something new to blame it on each year. Leadership blames industry circumstances for things they have been wanting to do all along.

Some good, passionate people who truly care about delivering value to clients.

Cons

Recently announced no bonuses for the year; questionable (at best) leadership who are not aligned on strategy or messaging when changes occur; slashing benefits; lagger in terms of industry benchmarks, heavily scoped In the public sector which makes the company particularly susceptible to federal policy and regulation changes; culture and morale has taken a nosedive; heifers inconsistency with in-office expectations across regions; silent layoffs; many consultants don’t feel supported in finding work and are out on notice of impending termination if spend greater than 2 weeks without a project; fairly recent Bain acquisition has executive suite hyper focused on growth and profit margins, pushing employee development to the wayside.
