Pros
At this point, I would say there are very few true pros to working here as an Analyst. You will basically get a paid vacation during your 5-6 month training period which is a joke, and you will more than likely not bill over 50% during your first year. If you are lazy and want to chill this is a great place to be honestly.
Cons
I really feel like I have to warn college grads to not take an offer here. It really used to be a decent program, but at this point it is really just predatory/extractive. You will start with a base salary between 55K-60K and it is relatively common to get a 15%ish raise around your 1 year mark. The thing that is terrible about this is that the few who work really hard for a whole year, take on challenging work, and learn the software get the same raise as the ones who billed 40% all year. After your first year, getting a 2nd promotion is iffy at best and to even be considered you have to meet all the same targets and do the same work of the regular consultants who are making about double what you do (100K -120K plus bonus). Even then, you are not guaranteed anything which is ridiculous. Also, as an analyst you get no bonus and have only 13 days of PTO vs unlimited for the regular consultants. Not a huge deal and is probably fair for your first year or so but after that you are expect to do literally the same work so it is bit ridiculous. It took over 6 months after being promised a promotion to actually get it for me and I had met every req they laid out in front of me. Management is also completely out of touch with anything. I just went through my 3rd reorg of the year and my new boss (also 3rd of the year) has hundreds direct reports. This sends a clear signal that they really just don't care about individuals. Morale overall is just low right now. There are definitely worse jobs but everyone I talk to is either angry or miserable. A lot of this comes from the 0 accountability culture here coming from sales and management. Unfortunately no one really cares here anymore. It's not even a secret.
