Pros

Awesome people who are fun to work with Casual culture Good hours of work - not your typical consulting hours Minimal travel required Interesting work for the most part.

Cons

Career growth is becoming more tenure based and not a true meritocracy Work is beginning to be more operational and routine - we need to be careful how we evolve in the long term - don't want to lose the brand value for short term revenue gains

- Leadership and management practices are heavily influenced by offshore working styles, which can create misalignment with local work expectations in the U.S. - Work-life balance can be difficult, with expectations around extended hours and frequent overlap with offshore teams - Limited flexibility around boundaries outside standard working hours - High workload and pressure can make long-term sustainability challenging for some employees - Team inclusivity and engagement can sometimes feel uneven, with opportunities for more balanced collaboration across all team members - Retention challenges observed among employees not aligned with the prevailing work style
