Pros
If you’re fresh out of school and don’t have a specific skill and don’t know what to do, and you’re willing to be a yes man then yes it might be a good place to figure out your next step.
Cons
- Lack of pipeline for certain practices (and they will blame that on you saying your utilization is low but there’s nothing you can do at an associate level)
- Full of people that feel good about themselves but they actually knows nothing about how actual industry work
- No talent
- Management will give you vague feedback that you can’t act on, For example, I got asked to “elevate the deck” but when I asked is it the messaging or is it the format etc they can’t give me anything specific
- The expectation on work quality is inconsistent
- Some manager level people can’t do excel which is shocking
- You need to be a people pleaser in order to get promoted
