Pros

None felt anxious all the time there

Cons

As a black minority women it was difficult to feel valued and supported working in that environment. My manager at that time was very vague in her training and so complained about me within a couple weeks of working there. I saw clear discrimination and wasn't supported at all. It was a stressful environment. I remember saying hello most mornings as I share a space with that manager and rudely ignoring me for no reason and I see that person being very friendly to others. That’s not an example of a leader. Anything great I did wasn’t recognized but any minor correction was reported to high level management. I am happy I joined a company that really value my work and don’t treat me different.

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.
