Pros

Warm inviting culture, plenty of SME's across all technologies to learn from and collaborate with, and clear career advancements/developments.

Cons

Bench-life is monotonous and grating, leadership has favorites, project opportunities are few and far between, leadership is not held accountable. CYA culture is rampant, senior project leads will throw you under the bus if a project goes haywire, they will protect clients from any form of criticisms, and throw junior consultants to the wolves without any training or preparation. Two-faced management will say they believe in every consultant, but joke about their lack of success in front of other consultants.

Pros

•There is an impressive budget, especially for high-level events, ancillary experiences, client giveaways, and premium swag. Management does not hesitate to fund top-notch brand experiences when needed. •The company offers a highly competitive benefits and perks package that remains a strong selling point.

Cons

•The "fiercely human" core value does not match daily operations. Collaboration is routinely replaced by a self-service model of training videos and help articles. •These recurring shifts are designed to manufacture the appearance of fiscal stability for the benefit of external stakeholders and clients, while leaving core operational deficits unaddressed. •Organizational maturity is low. Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
