Pros

Work from home is acceptable. Trying to improve work life balance especially during the summer with Early Leave Friday’s. Starting a pilot program for work from home fridays.

Cons

Everything else if you’re a lateral hire and a woman. There is clear preference given to white males for work and just normal interaction. You can keep reaching out for work but you won’t be placed on interesting engagements and your contribution generally won’t be recognized. There is a lot of favoritism in the Boston office. Better health plans and PTO days at some other firms. Firm is losing work as well.

Pros

A lot of smart people to learn from

Cons

A lot of people leave. Utilization is also a dumb metric now with how much money they are dumping into their AI. Work is getting done quicker, hence less hours are being charged even when busy. Margins are consistently up despite hours being down so I don't get the need for higher utilzation KPI's anymore. On top of that, managers make you "eat" your chargeable hours to stay within their very small budgets now too, so utilzation does not really reflect anything meaningful anymore. Commercial consultants work 1.5-2x more than federal consultants but federal consultants are usually 100% utilzed because they must use the full budget despite the work not taking as long/as stressful of deadlines.
