Pros

I worked a wonderful group of team members who have become friends of mine. We were a little unit that helped and cheered each other on. For that reason, I think the team thrived and created such a great environment to be apart of.

Cons

I worked closely with a group of engineers (I was apart of the admin staff) that were basically bullies. There's no other way around it. They would turn content in late without communicating and would do last minute edits that would push back other deadlines and when a debrief was scheduled, one of the project managers tried to intimate me into not having the meeting. One of them approached me while I was on a conference call and proceeded to lunge at me when I told him that I couldn't talk at that moment but would find him later. After relaying this to my boss (who I thought I could trust), I ended up getting written up and nothing happened to him. The harassment repeated for months without my boss doing anything to stop it and I ended up contacting HR. Three days later I was fired and the reason given was "it wasn't working out".

Pros

You will be working with great minds. People have their niches expertise and it’s wonderful to learn from them. Very professional and respectful behavior. Doesn’t feel like other consulting firms where you’re worked like a dog.

Cons

Sometimes it’s hard to build consistent work because people tend to hold on to their projects rather than transferring to junior staff and it’s mainly because the pressure to be billable is high.
