Pros

Smart people; very interesting project; small firm so know everyone

Cons

Unstandardized and unethical management practices. You never know what would happen next day e.g. layoff, visa sponsorship withdrawal, delaying start date; withdrawing offers etc. No sense of job security at all. Managers directly told you "corporate does not have feelings" and "we don't have time and money for you to lean" in 1:1 meeting. They pretend to be nice and good people on surface and do everything secretly behind at your back. Want the best and smartest people but have unrealistic expectation, little support, and treat you unfairly. The culture is "if you can't perform at the level of our expectation, we get rid of you". The salary is not even that high to compensate for all those stress the toxic environment. Totally not worth it. Avoid working here if you don't want to experience the hunger game in real life and feel traumatized. Go to a good management consulting firm if you want to do profit-driven business consulting or go to a non-profit or education foundation if you want to do education work.

Pros

Ed-focused strategy (real strategy) consulting with a "mission-to-market" orientation. Pretty unique niche so perfect for those wanting the rigor of a top-tier strategy firm (and comp not far off) with an explicit focus on companies/ orgs/ topics in education. Great people.

Cons

Still working to reset its culture and to align the team behind a unifying purpose and set of values. Earnest efforts in place. Can seem "top heavy" for a smaller shop.

Pros

Every person I worked with was kind, smart, and brought something unique to the table. Folks are smart, considerate, and usually have professional experience in education that makes them considerate of education issues. There is real expertise at the firm. Zero hostility, and conflict was always resolved amicably. For junior team members, there was a real effort to build a community and social aspect to the office. You'll get exposure to a lot of different types of projects. They aren't a one-trick pony shop. You can climb the ladder quickly.

Cons

Hours were consistently much longer than what hiring team and management stated in interview process/onboarding. This is not a 9-5 job. Most of senior team is remote, while junior team is required to be in-office 3 days per week in Boston. This makes it more difficult for junior team members to get exposure and learn from leadership.
