Boston office is Toxic. Stay away! - Senior Consultant Public Consulting Group Employee Review

Pros

Decent paid time off allocation but impossible to actually take time off.

Cons

Very political company. VPs are arrogant, abusive and close their eyes to the hostile environment they create. Brown-nosing is accepted -even rewarded behavior. There are too many problems to list. Hiring managers and HR try to sugar coat the problems in order to entice new recruits. They cannot keep good people because eventually the truth comes out about PCG's toxic internal practices. PCG has a serious employee retention problem, for very obvious reasons. Thinking of working here? Don't walk away... Run!

Pros

Really enjoyed my teammates, we all tried surviving the ever rotation of projects and assignments that were given to us that didn’t have clear direction or instructions.

Cons

Had to take leave due to mental exhaustion and anxiety due to this job. Constantly was being told because we made salary to be expected to work past our scheduled hours. Was always told to voice when I was at capacity and had enough on my plate, and when I did, I was just given more. Senior managers undermined my work, would throw you under the bus if they messed up and needed a scapegoat. Communication team to team was so awful, even the products are just a mess. Just the worst place that I’ve ever worked. Some teams had fought for years to get more people hired on their teams to help with the load they were given, and were never listened to, then higher ups were shocked when they all left.
