Pros
- Coworkers are all nice people and they all work hard/are willing to pitch in when there's an influx in client work.
- HR is very personable - best HR I've ever worked with
- Events like birthday lunches and weekly lunches make it a nice work setting for connecting with your team
- Flexible working schedule, people understand if you need to duck out of the office for a doctor's appointment or a day to work from home
- Work/life balance is good, albeit partly due to ebb/flow of client work and bandwidth
Cons
- The company culture only cares about billable work and staying billable. Not conducive for thought leadership work
- The process for new business development and sales is an absolute joke. No real resources dedicated to it (see above: billability obsession)
- Regional offices could be connected better. People often forget that they can (and should) connect with their colleagues in the branch offices in Australia and San Francisco.
- Turnover rate is high. Management could do more to address the high turnover.
- Have yet to see any training opportunities for career growth or management. While most of the manager-level folks here are great, some of managers here could use serious training in sensitivity and communication.
- recent client scope replanning has made a mess of the company morale; top down communication is at best vague and infrequent and at worst inconsistent and dishonest.
