Pros

- Fantastic, experienced, smart people to work with (no junior consultants!) - Lots of opportunities to help grow the business - both internally and externally (sales) - Super friendly culture with lots of social events - Low key, laid-back attitude balanced with high standards of delivery - Great facilities for such a small company - Highly flexible work environment - you can really live the consulting lifestyle here! - No travel unless you want to - Great salary and vacation - Very hands-off management, because they only hire senior consultants they trust you to do your job, manage your client, and work with your team

Cons

- Small market limits type of work and clients, which means sometimes you just have to do what you have to do! - No junior consultants means you have to do all the dirty work too :) - Benefits package is mediocre at best, I'm paying a lot more out of pocket - Flexibility comes with risk - if you're on the bench you only get paid 50% of your salary - Because it is a growing, small company - bad infrastructure (slow network, no knowledge management, very little process in place) - Just starting to define career paths - very little career management in place so you really have to find your own way

Pros

•There is an impressive budget, especially for high-level events, ancillary experiences, client giveaways, and premium swag. Management does not hesitate to fund top-notch brand experiences when needed. •The company offers a highly competitive benefits and perks package that remains a strong selling point.

Cons

•The "fiercely human" core value does not match daily operations. Collaboration is routinely replaced by a self-service model of training videos and help articles. •These recurring shifts are designed to manufacture the appearance of fiscal stability for the benefit of external stakeholders and clients, while leaving core operational deficits unaddressed. •Organizational maturity is low. Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
