Pros

Delivery consists of top-tier talent Lower-to-middle level management really try, but are limited by senior leadership Tons of better opportunities outside of the public sector consulting team if you're able to escape

Cons

Morale is at rock bottom. Tons of people very displeased and unable to clearly express their concerns without fear of recourse. Leadership is stuck in the past. Looking for an easy solution by making questionable hiring decisions externally.
