Pros

- There is a lot to learn and I gained a lot from the job very quickly - Everyone is really nice and the San Mateo (no its not San Francisco despite what they claim) office is really cool. - Not constantly travelling - Very quickly get to talk with and present to clients

Cons

- Regularly overstaffed (although hours still aren't as bad as other consulting firms) - Consider your future interests and ensure that this job will get you there

Pros

Strong culture and collaborative environment with smart, supportive colleagues. Admins are trusted partners and get exposure to senior leadership, which provides great learning opportunities. Compensation and benefits are competitive compared to similar roles.

Cons

Workload can be high, with admins often supporting multiple stakeholders while also providing backup coverage. Expectations can vary widely depending on the team, which can create inconsistency and pressure. Career growth paths are less structured and require a lot of self-direction. Work-life balance can be challenging at times, especially across time zones.
