Pros

I got to work with some people with great personalities. I enjoyed the extremely relaxed and casual company culture

Cons

- The company hardly wins any projects even though: - utilization rate is the only KPI that managers care about which means: - hardly any chances of promotion - incompetent managers - horrible place for a young person to begin a career - no chances of career development - clients have unfair expectations for experience level of entry-level consultants which means it is nearly impossible to be staffed as a staff consultant - insane recruitment goals despite the fact that there were always too many resources on the bench

Pros

Pretty flexible. It's cool if you get on a project with a good client, because honestly you will become like a low-class employee at that company who they all dont care about and expect you not to be around very long so if you can deal with that then you can try and have a good time with them.

Cons

Honestly can't believe the audacity and entitlement of the middle management at this place. For example, last year everybody got about 3% merit raises (not at all keeping up with inflation but still something). This year, they were working with the same pool of funds to work with for raises, but made a "business decision" to consolidate the raises to only management. The rest of us got nothing. And the TOLD us they kept everything for themselves. And in addition to that, they twisted the knife by COMPLAINING to the whole department on a department call that their bonuses weren't enough. Just tone-deaf and careless mostly.
