Pros

- Sociable and friendly coworkers (don't get too close to them)

Cons

- Work is boring and meaningless - Toxic work culture - The only way you will do well is if you stand out well to managers, which means promotions and raises are reliant on how much your manager likes you. They otherwise know absolutely nothing about your work. - Racial and queer diversity is found within the entry-level and intermediate level, but at the management and senior level it is not. And this is mostly because of the last point. A huge factor of getting liked is to like the same things managers like, which more or less comprise of activities and habits lacking diversity (for example, golfing). When I talked about this, the people who made excuses said that "all of tech is like this." - This workplace is incredibly culty. If you like your work and workplace to take over the rest of your life and become your defining personality because of your lack thereof of original character, then this is a pro. - The office lacks boundary, and they're familial. How could you ever leave a company where 80% of your wedding guests are people from the office?

Pros

-Great coworkers on the Associate Consultant, Consultant, and early manager levels -Thrown into the fire which means you learn a lot and gain new skills at a rapid pace -Reasonable hours/work-life balance

Cons

-Compensation is WELL below market rate, with no transparency on future salary increases or timelines. There are also no bonuses/performance based compensation despite significant discrepancies in employee workloads. -No HR department. Whenever employees are fired (which happens often and without notice) there is no source for employees to go to for questions/support. Similarly, if anything happens on a project that would require HR advice, there is nobody to go too. -Entry level employees are put onto projects without training or any knowledge expertise and expected to "figure it out" resulting in sub-optimal deliverables to the client and an overly-stressed day to day work environment -Upper level managers are unengaged on projects and individual team management. Some, also promote a toxic office social culture of gossiping about employees, creating a sense of discomfort among their team members -Client projects can be antiquated and you get no say on what you're assigned to or for how long you'll be on it
