Pros

Challenging and interesting work. Smart people to work with. Less travel than other consulting firms.

Cons

Unlike other consulting firms, we are staffed on multiple projects, sometimes with multiple clients and multiple managers. It's really hard to manage and please everyone.

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.
