Pros
Competitive benefits: Fully paid health insurance (including dental and vision) for the employee, PTO, flex time, and charitable time off
Early culture emphasized growth, internal learning, and family-centered values
Opportunities to self-direct and take initiative -- ideal for highly independent learners
Exposure to clients across a wide range of industries, offering broad experience and continuous learning
Remote flexibility and autonomy in day-to-day work
Cons
Onboarding is entirely self-led with minimal support. If you don't teach yourself, you won't be taught
The company recently shifted to more aggressive billable metrics, with salary reductions for those not exceeding targets
Compensation lacks transparency and consistency. Pay rates do not align with role or tenure, and some staff-level employees and new hires earn more than senior-level consultants. Salary increases and promotions are entirely discretionary, with no clear standards or structure
Project management was "flattened", pushing consultants to own client relationships from sale to delivery without any additional training for sales or project/client relationship management
Leadership behavior can be unprofessional and hostile. Senior Leadership has verbally berated the staff in meetings, and dissenting opinions are routinely shut down despite the company's stated value of "Authentic Communication"
Consultants are routinely assigned an unmanageable number of clients with no support structure, leading to burnout, missed deadlines, and plummeting morale
As staff leave, remaining employees are handed even more projects, compounding the overload
Unplanned absences are not supported. Projects fall through the cracks due to understaffing, and employees are penalized for it
Management is ineffective and disengaged. Supervisors offer little guidance, feedback, or leadership - just vague questions like "What do you think?"
