Pros

Some great individuals that are a pleasure to work with...that's it.

Cons

- Management comes in two flavors, sycophants and backstabbers - Expect no technical training whatsoever - Promotions are only given in two cases. You are "FO", Friend of {fill in CEO, COO, backstabber), or you make the above group money - Bi-annual review is a complete waste of time, going through the motions - Projects are staffed from bench availability, not experience - If you're not billing, you are a layoff target - Much technical work methodically moving to south american subsidiaries

Pros

The hours are tolerable and the people are nice, however they have no clue how to do staffing so it was not uncommon to have projects implode midway through. The one positive however is that you'll likely get pulled onto a project more often than not, which obviously helps your utilization.

Cons

Being on a bunch of short term projects increases the likelihood of having a few weeks on the bench add up to a low year end utilization. The company will look at any excuse to not give you a bonus. If you run into the wrong person, expect to be thrown under the bus almost instantly. The company reports consistent revenue growth yet if you look at the 10-K, the employee bonus pool has steadily declined. How come? Well, instead of paying the employees who executed all the deliverables for that mess of a project they sold, leadership goes and buys up THG stock to inflate their share price and grant it to themselves. Classy. Also, CEO literally said in their annual meeting that they would only hire women if they were qualified, not just for the sake of hiring women..... Okay, but the company is 99% men, what do you think that is saying?

Senior Consultant - S&BT

Pros

S&BT is a smaller practice, everyone knows each other which is great.

Cons

Management told us that we are having a hard time hiring because our brand is suffering. We are told to go make up reviews on glassdoor to improve our ratings and hiring options. Executives took a million dollar bonus this year, zero bonus for the rest of the employees. Revenue is up, stock price is up, everyone is billing at close to 100%, economy is hot. They made up excuses. S&BT has no interest in developing or retaining talent. Company is run on obsolete systems, we don't follow our own advice that we give to clients. There are lots of harassment claims that are being "handled internally" Base pay is way below market (and they don't give great bonuses) Principals encourage the staff that they like to leave because "if they were young again and had options, they wouldn't put up with it" Very few exit options.
