Pros

Lots of very talented people who are a delight to work with, and will help each other in any way they can.

Cons

Full on work focus on implementing the Simpler Business System without much balance or desire to work around some personal issues. Very little focus on people development or respect for people at the clients, which is contrary to the true ethos of Lean. This may be because the clients do not ask for this, but it means that initial improvements may not be sustainable and they have to do it all again in the future. This in effect, means customers will therefore always have to rely on consultants rather than build up their own expertise.

Pros

- Growth mindset culture - Ability to work alongside very experienced Lean subject matter experts - Autonomy - Part of IBM but operates somewhat on it's own - still get the benefits of a large organization

Cons

- Limited progression opportunities for folks that are earlier in their career which limits large pay bumps - Peaks and valleys of work (sometimes very busy but sometimes there isn't much work)
