Pros

Remote opportunities available for those who are unable to work in office

Cons

This company is a complete mess—management is incompetent, communication is non-existent, and the workload is completely unreasonable. The managers have no idea how to lead a team, and instead of offering guidance or support, they micromanage and create confusion. There’s no clear direction, priorities constantly shift without notice, and you’re left scrambling to meet unrealistic expectations with little to no resources. You’re expected to juggle multiple roles without additional pay or support, and if you raise concerns, you’re either ignored or told to “just figure it out.” Burnout is inevitable, and employee well-being is clearly not a priority. Overall, this is not a company that values its employees.

Pros

I work directly with excellent people. My immediate colleagues are collaborative, capable, and committed to doing high-quality work for clients.

Cons

The biggest challenges tend to come from the corporate side of the organization. Corporate processes and communication can sometimes feel disconnected from the needs of project teams, which creates unnecessary friction. In addition, benefits that were once stronger, including 401(k) matching and medical coverage, have been significantly reduced. A recent example is the increased emphasis on “utilization rates” in merit increases. While utilization is understandable in a consulting environment, tying it too heavily to merit can effectively penalize employees for using earned vacation time and can make PTO feel less like a real benefit.
