Pros

Great brand name but that is where the positive stops!

Cons

It is all about utilisation, more than any consultancy I have ever worked for. That means high pressure for to take roles that you do.nit have skills for. Learn on the job is a normal practice. Forced distribution is the model used for performance reviews. You are pitted against your team mates, which turns the culture into back stabbing and nasty scheming as everyone positions themselves to be ahead of team mates. Nasty culture is best way to describe. Finally bullying, as papers exposed, there is still a culture of bullying. Very unpleasant work environment if you can. The only.positive, is the brand name on your CV

Pros

Good learning environment, the teams help support your development when you're new, and they take you under their wing to succeed in your role.

Cons

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

Pros

Good Benefits - Get the week of the fourth of July and the week of Christmas off every year.

Cons

They say we are doing well but everyone is stagnant. No real opportunities to get promoted or raises. Gone through 3 layoffs. Management says that no one is leaving because they love working there but no one is leaving because the market is bad. That is the reason for a backlog of folks trying to move up.
