Pros

You get paid on time. They are trying to win clients and expand the business in this region

Cons

-unprecedented levels of micromanagement from leaders who are meant to be only overseeing. -passive aggressive rude colleagues creating unwelcome environment for staff new to PS. -expectation to work 24*7, weekends and give your life to them. Nobody says good morning, thanks or bye as the day doesn't end. Expectation to work even if you're very sick and have said it on teams. Leadership doesn't care and will send a list of tasks to complete. -badly sold engagements to client and lack of planning causing staff to overwork. Lack of client needs management, bending over backwards to meet their expectations. -leadership can't regulate their emotions, is panicky and displaces anger to target staff under them, without hearing their side of the story. -my time at PS was so horrible that I had to seek therapy as it resulted in chronic stress, disappointing as they're painting a completely different impression in the interview and are a global firm.

Pros

Organized Clear promotion structure DEI friendly + company orgs to join Good pay, benefits, location You're connected to mentors

Cons

Client placement may take a while Lots of training on basic things from my university courses, while they're very beginner friendly, it didn't feel like the best use of my time Worked on a toy project instead of introductions to real world impact projects. You're evaluated more on your ability to network, build relationships, and visibility (which is important when working with clients) as opposed to technical skills - the assumption is that the training they offer will get you up to par In hindsight, there were a lot of unwritten rules that caught me off guard in terms of networking and performance requirements, so the lack of a return offer blindsided me. DEI was huge in 2022 but wasn't genuine and had double standards. They mentioned holding "safe spaces" to speak, but it was not *really* safe and you're still speaking in a corporate place with unspoken professional world rules. Ifykyk.
