Pros

Used to be good work-life balance and good work culture where people used to be respectful towards others

Cons

Culture has deteriorated a lot over last few years, Ever since they acquired CEB, Which brought in a bunch of incompetent/Political people. Company has stopped hiring on merit, They are busy filling up their quotas. Company has become Top-heavy, With too many VP, MVP, Program Managers, Program Directors, Senior Project Managers etc. There are multiple people in the chain whose only job is to take status and force people into doing shoddy work with unreasonable timelines. They don't have budget to hire people to do the actual work, but have all the money to give away to Ladder-climbers, A Project Manager has more value in this company than the people doing actual work

Pros

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Cons

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
