Pros
You’ll gain broad consulting experience and exposure to diverse clients and projects. Many colleagues are kind, collaborative, and genuinely supportive of one another, which helps make challenging projects more manageable.
Cons
The pay is minimal for the expectations and workload. Employees are often overworked, with unrealistic deadlines and limited support to manage competing priorities. While the team is supportive, it’s difficult to spend time discussing challenges or improving processes when nearly every hour must be “billable” to a client. Promotions tend to go to those who are the most vocal rather than based on transparent, objective criteria, and there are no clear career pathing guidelines. The culture places a strong emphasis on constant positivity—every update or minor milestone is celebrated, but there’s little room for honest reflection. Constructive questions or feedback are often met with resistance or viewed as negative or unsupportive. Company-wide discussions only highlight positive survey results, with limited acknowledgment of opportunities for real growth or improvement. Advancement feels out of reach unless you fully conform and overlook the underlying issues.
