      Highly Political, Toxic, and Abusive Workplace

      Human capital consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Compensation is above average. High performance is rewarded. Projects are generally diverse and interesting.

      Cons

      A subgroup of senior staff ganged up to bully, gaslight, and spread false rumors about me. It was an extremely abusive workplace, where 12 hour workdays all week were apparently not enough to be considered a hard worker. There was no way for me to report my treatment to a higher power, and those that I did confide in did not believe me. The cultural rot seems to go all the way to the Partner level. Either that, or they gladly turn a blind eye as long as the perpetrators of abuse keep the money coming in. Leaving this company was the best thing I ever did.

      Keep Looking

      Principal
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent individual consultants and great resources for clients

      Cons

      Terrible middle management across the company. Too many inexperienced managers (often former actuaries) running the company who lack people skills, formal management training, and basic empathy.

      You won't get far on the severance package

      Senior associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work life flexibility is very nice and health benefits are good.

      Cons

      As an internally high rated US IT employee, I have not had a base salary increase for several years, bonus pool smaller every year in the last 5 based on some contrived growth number they missed. North American colleagues that are outsourced only get one week of severance per service year. I always thought for a long term (10+ years ) employee that industry standard was twice that. Embarrassing. Hardly makes the high workload and inevitable termination worth waiting for. Stay away if you are in technology. No money here no matter talent or effort.
