Pros

This is a reputable professional services firm to work for that looks great on your CV. Great to start as a graduate or join as a young professional to give you the skills you need and there is a pathway for progress if you work hard enough.

Cons

I found that onboarding was poor, making it harder to navigate the company at the beginning of my time here. I also think the other Big 4 firms are quicker to adapt. For example, the length of paternity leave still lags well behind Deloitte for example.

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.
