Pros

Most of the people I've worked alongside have been lovely to work with, and that's kept me here longer than I should have stayed

Cons

I've stayed with this company for over six years, with yearly pay increases that were barely keeping up with inflation if even that, despite promotion after promotion. Just this last year, we hired a new consultant at the same grade as me, and a few months into working together he told me he was being paid 130,000 a year - a full 50k more than me. After speaking to our associate directors and working with them for months to have business cases put forward to have my salary actually reflect my position, they gave me another meaningless promotion to Associate Manager with no corresponding increase in pay

Pros

Pretty flexible. It's cool if you get on a project with a good client, because honestly you will become like a low-class employee at that company who they all dont care about and expect you not to be around very long so if you can deal with that then you can try and have a good time with them.

Cons

Honestly can't believe the audacity and entitlement of the middle management at this place. For example, last year everybody got about 3% merit raises (not at all keeping up with inflation but still something). This year, they were working with the same pool of funds to work with for raises, but made a "business decision" to consolidate the raises to only management. The rest of us got nothing. And the TOLD us they kept everything for themselves. And in addition to that, they twisted the knife by COMPLAINING to the whole department on a department call that their bonuses weren't enough. Just tone-deaf and careless mostly.
