Pros

Diverse projects and skilled staff. Flexible working environment and career paths.

Cons

Flawed compensation model - only beneficial if you are a Partner or higher. Causing turnover due to lack of appropriate compensation adjustments for long-term mid-level staff that are now paid below market. Company is increasingly driven by metrics rather than client service and value that used to be the priority.

Pros

Cool projects. Diversity of work

Cons

Basically every 15 minutes need to be billed to a client. If not you will be penalized even if they say you’re doing great.
