Once you’re exposed to leadership, the experience shifts from rewarding to miserable. They keep “yes” people who protect egos instead of those who do quality work.
• Leadership systematically removed women and anyone who questioned decisions. Those who spoke up were marginalized or pushed out.
• The few women left are mainly in back-office roles with little client exposure — a telling reflection of misplaced priorities.
• There’s zero trust in the consultants actually building client relationships and delivering results. Leadership obsesses over control and appearances instead of performance and outcomes.
• Sales and marketing have added little measurable value, yet consultants carry the company’s reputation while others take credit.
• “Budget” layoffs are reframed as “performance” issues even after confirming otherwise — pure manipulation.
• Management hides behind the EOS framework but cherry-picks only what benefits them. Offer an idea or improvement, and you risk public reprimand — that’s not EOS; that’s intimidation.
• Fear-based management continues: if bonuses are too high, they quietly move the goalposts. Consultants are micromanaged and even belittled on client calls.
• Constructive feedback isn’t valued; it’s punished.
