Not a fan - Micromanagement.

Pros

CTO was generous, pay was about average / what you would expect. The promotion timeline was nice to know... 2/2.5 years to become a senior consultant, 5 years to become manager, etc.

Cons

The micromanagement in the Atlanta office was unbelievably terribly. Wouldn't allow employees to work at home (before Covid, obviously). Would do laps around the floor to check and make sure you're working. The work itself was extremely unfulfilling and tedious for no reason. Additionally, they didn't offer a very inclusive environment when it came to learning and made you feel like an idiot if you didn't know something. This could've just been my experience with the senior manager and manager who I worked with on my projects in my time there, but it truly rubbed off the wrong way on me and I would not recommend this firm or the Atlanta office to anyone.

A celebration of mediocrity

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary and benefits, good springboard for recent industry entrants to launch their new career

Cons

Mediocre assignments, saccharine culture, no opportunities for advancement, tries to present itself as something it is not, excessive emphasis on Sales, lack of Sales training coupled with pressure to sell, inefficient and confusing workflow processes, favoritism, poor employee retention, consultant and management burnout. Cut throat sales tactics. Apparent lack of employee recognition. Lack of true leadership opportunities.
