Pros

A lot to learn with new technology.

Cons

Worst Management – The leadership team is disorganized and ineffective. They do not listen to employees and make decisions without considering how it impacts their workforce. High Workload – They overload employees with an unreasonable amount of work. It feels like you're expected to handle the workload of 2 or 3 people on your own, and there's no relief in sight. No Work-Life Balance – Forget about any work-life balance. The company expects you to be available at all hours and weekends, and you’ll be constantly pushed to meet unrealistic deadlines. Micromanagement – The micromanagement here is suffocating. Managers constantly monitor and nitpick every little detail, leaving no room for you to work independently. Unrealistic Deadlines – Meeting deadlines here is a nightmare because the timelines they set are ridiculous. You're given no time to deliver quality work, and it's all about speed over substance. Blame Game – When things go wrong (and they do), managers are quick to play the blame game. Employees are scapegoated for management’s poor decisions. Discouragement – There is no room for growth or encouragement. Instead of fostering a positive and supportive environment, the management discourages new ideas and stifles creativity. Not Employee-Friendly – This is definitely not an employee-friendly company. There’s no appreciation for hard work, no real benefits, and the toxic environment makes it unbearable.

Pros

Amazing culture, at least in this office. Catered lunch twice a week, and constant events and treats and free snacks. Experience can be very balanced in terms of work/life. Great benefits, including generous PTO policy.

Cons

Broader company has poor strategy, and clearly doesn't know what to do with the workforce they have as AI lowers the client pipeline and rates. Roles are only plentiful in the US if you are in Product or Project Management, as other capabilities are being offshored to save client budgets, and/or are being collapsed so that employees must vibe-AI their way into competency. This leads to sapped morale and poor output at the client level. As the company has been struggling - and as promotions become less likely to be approved - some of the most passionate folks in the company have left for greener pastures, or have been unceremoniously pushed out. This in turn has led to a weakening of office culture. Your work experience can also be variable - depending on seasonality, client pipelines, and role, you could be so busy you don't have time to care for yourself or so bored you are feigning productivity. More than is normal at other consulting companies, the workloads seem incongruent with who's being hired or not.
