Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that you didn’t have a good initial experience. As consulting provides opportunities to work in varied client engagements, we partner closely with our people to identify roles that play to their strengths and support their career goals. We try to be transparent during the interview process, as it’s important to our success that people understand the nature of the work, expectations of project roles and our overall vision. If any employee would like to discuss their current engagement and interests for future roles, we would encourage them to contact their HR Business Partner or Resource Manager.

Pros

Varied client work — Different clients and project types, which keeps things interesting. Real project mobility — You can move between projects when you advocate for yourself (within reason). Approachable leadership — Senior leaders are open to conversations if you reach out. Good development resources — Plenty of training and growth opportunities if you take advantage of them. Strong teams — Colleagues are smart, capable, and great to work with. Entrepreneurial environment — New ideas are encouraged, and there’s room to take initiative.

Cons

Long hours vary by project — Like most any professional job, some engagements require extended hours for prolonged periods, but work–life balance really depends on the client and team. Additional internal responsibilities — Depending on level, there can be a significant amount of firm‑support work outside of client delivery. Domain alignment not guaranteed — You may not always be staffed on projects that match your domain expertise. Coaching alignment constraints — Coaching relationships are tied to domain, which limits flexibility in choosing formal mentors. Long engagements (sometimes) — Some projects run for long durations or through multiple extensions. It can provides stability but may reduce variety in client and project experience depending on what you’re looking for.
