Pros

Employee onboarding is very upbeat, however, training is very disorganized.

Cons

- High level executives openly boast about mid level managers being "afraid" of them. -Managers intensely micromanage without getting context on a project. This makes jobs significantly harder as more time is spent fending off overbearing managers than focusing on client work. - Managers complain at you as you present to clients, demanding responses in sidebar conversations as you actively try to engage client questions. Not only is this incredibly distracting and toxic, it is not a substitute for personalized, professional feedback. - Feedback is rarely, or never offered. Managers prefer to rant in generalizations at a team. Employees have to go out of their way to get feedback and managers will appear visibly irritated when they request it. - Managers will fly off the handle and reprimand employees without doing due diligence first. Subsequent apologies are never given and accountability is never taken. Managers will edit their Teams messages to say something completely different instead of taking accountability for what they say. - Although there is a rhetorical commitment to valuing many voices, managers will go into meetings expecting certain answers and ask leading questions until they get what they want. Not only is this a waste of everyone's time, it is incredibly condescending. - Managers make it clear that differing opinions are highly discouraged, and will go out of their way to shut them down and punish employees for providing them. - The organization has absolutely no mechanism for holding bad managers accountable. Employee surveys aren't conducted but for the purpose of obtaining a superficial "great place to work" badge. - Management is inept at applying effective pressure to clients who are delinquent and can't follow through on deliverables.

Pros

- Leadership listens to individual contributors - Tools in CS are effective - Flexible PTO (and we actually feel encouraged to take it) - Good work-life balance - Intelligent, caring team

Cons

- Implementations are very labour-intensive for the consultants - Role sometimes feels lacking in purpose and impact - Software is undergoing modernization, which is positive, but also challenging when the legacy product isn't getting upgrades
