Pros
- Got to work with some of the smartest people I've ever met. - Project managers are very professional and helpful, will go to bat for you with unreasonable clients.
Cons
- Upper leadership is clueless. Keep saying that they want to focus on making clients happy, but keep laying off consultants who are in the middle of projects for BIG name clients. - CEO is very unprofessional and can't take criticism. When receiving negative feedback about a lack of raises for the year, he said we were being childish and made a bizarre threat about how IBM would buy the company if it didn't thrive. - Leadership are liars. After the first round of layoffs in Feb 2023, they promised it was a "one and done" thing, "no round 2" they said. Round 2 just happened here in August 2023, and this time they got rid of some of THE BEST people they had. - Bonus scheme encourages burn out. Your bonus is based on utilization, with 100% util (working on projects literally every day) yields the highest bonus. Anything less penalizes you, and you have no control over your schedule.
