Pros

There are none that I can think of.

Cons

Lie and Manipulation from senior leadership in the PE to get to the numbers they have set no matter the cost. Launch is owned by TPG who is owned by Odyssey Investment Partners. All Odyssey cares about is making their quarterly goals no matter the outcome. So as long as your engagement is going fine, you will be ok, but as soon as your engagement is up, be prepared to be laid off almost immediately! Launch merged with Strive Consulting a year ago and since then all of the values have gone down the drain. Executives are going on fancy trips to France for AI Conferences while employees are being laid off almost weekly to make the bottom line. The whole AI first push that is being forced upon every employee with no real direction, guidance or clear vision of how they want to apply it in the real world and to use it with their clients.

Pros

If you want to use and learn AI every single day, not just talk about it, this is the best opportunity I've seen. AI tooling is embedded in how we deliver, sell, and operate internally, from agentic platforms for clients to AI assistants in our own workflows. You learn by doing, on real client problems, with top-tier technology partners in the mix. The new leadership team, many with a legacy at Maven Wave Partners, brings a proven playbook for building a premium, partner-led consulting firm, and you can feel the difference in how the firm operates. The strategy has sharpened around AI transformation and it finally feels coherent. Talented, collaborative people who genuinely want to build something.

Cons

There has been significant leadership turnover and several shifts in strategy over the past 12 months, and that created real whiplash for teams. The bigger ongoing friction is the legacy mindset of The Planet Group, the parent company, which still operates more like a staffing business than a consulting firm. That shows up in places like investment decisions, back-office processes, and how growth is measured, and it can slow down the transformation the new leadership is driving.

Pros

Decent salary, they were able to find me two alternative jobs to move to once I was laid off due to client budget cuts to the project.

Cons

Minimal national holidays recognized, no raise or inflation adjustment in over 2 years. No bonus, no annual evals, expensive health insurance.
