Pros

great culture, great smart people, small company feel at least for a while, great executive visions if it ever truly gets executed.

Cons

Career path is a joke! carrot and stick game and plenty of false promises, I cannot speak for every practice I was in the Application development practice. General manager is a true believer of culture and work and life balance but this vision gets lost in transition to the consultants. poor client and scope management that leads to lots of miscommunications, confusion and put consultants in bad situations.

Pros

people are very kind and its a great network to then have for life

Cons

I had 5 managers in 4 years, 3 of which promised me a promotion which I never got I was strung along in a seperate global team for a year and a half and then when I finally was moved to that group they fired 80% of us it's now an up or out company and people are leaving faster than business is coming in, that's been happening for 2 yrs my mental health was so bad i had two burnouts in a single year my last manager emotionally abused me and made me feel like i was a terrible person. I left believing that was why I was fired until i chatted with another former employee of this manager work life balance WAS a thing and in the last two years it's now that consultants are also responsible for selling, travel is a non-negotiable but expectations for travel are not transparent and can impact your yearly review, straight up not enough work and then senior management will make you feel bad for it
