Pros

Intelligent colleagues Less travel than most consulting companies Challenging projects Wide variety of project work

Cons

Billable hours comprise majority of performance evaluation and are largely out of your control Culture is improving under new leadership, but is still inflexible, stuffy, bureaucratic Onboarding is horrible. It's sink of swim

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
