Pros

Salary and benefits, good springboard for recent industry entrants to launch their new career

Cons

Mediocre assignments, saccharine culture, no opportunities for advancement, tries to present itself as something it is not, excessive emphasis on Sales, lack of Sales training coupled with pressure to sell, inefficient and confusing workflow processes, favoritism, poor employee retention, consultant and management burnout. Cut throat sales tactics. Apparent lack of employee recognition. Lack of true leadership opportunities.

Thank you for your feedback. We have shared your concerns about the focus on sales and recognition with our leadership team. We agree wholeheartedly that money isn't the source of all happiness and believe that a fulfilling career includes strong professional development opportunities, a great support network of those you trust and respect, great client/project opportunities, career progression, recognition for a job well done, an opportunity to focus on giving back and your own wellness, and competitive salaries to name a few. We wish you the best and hope to stay in touch!

Pros

Compared to other consulting firms, the flexibility in the management here has been amazing. In my experience, teams do whatever they can to get the job done but also acknowledge that we have lives outside of work and are accommodating to that.

Cons

Pay is not competitive compared to other consulting firms and leadership is not as innovative as they could be.
