Pros

In my department (I&D), we don't engage in extra work for clients. It's rare that the working hours exceed the standard, as we strive to maintain a consultancy approach. Additionally, some clients have interesting technical projects.

Cons

To build a career, one needs to adapt to questionable practices, such as nonsensical internal presentations and unwarranted extra working hours (this is the sector). The salary is low, and there is no recognition, through career advancements, for employees who grow within the company. They sell inexperienced new employees on projects with high technical demands solely for profit, subsequently complicating the work of their more experienced peers on the team without rewarding them. You can lack technical proficiency but still advance in your career based solely on the commercial/consultant aspect of the job – so it is not the ideal place for those who want to pursue a technical role.

Cons

I was laid off after spending several months on the bench, with "lack of available projects" cited as the reason. However, another consultant in the same role who was also without an active client engagement was retained. As a woman and racial minority, I could not ignore the disparity in how these decisions appeared to be made. Before my termination, I reported being recorded without my consent and raised concerns about conduct that I believed reflected implicit bias. I was referred to as "URM" instead of by my name or role, encouraged toward race based employee resource groups rather than meaningful career opportunities, and repeatedly advocated for fair project placement while on the bench. My employment ended shortly after I raised these concerns. Following my termination, I pursued the matter through the appropriate internal and legal channels. I provided documentation supporting my concerns and gave the company multiple opportunities to investigate and resolve the issues. Rather than meaningfully addressing the evidence or acknowledging the seriousness of the allegations, the company denied wrongdoing, offered what I viewed as a nominal severance, and declined to accept accountability. Employees deserve confidence that concerns about discrimination and retaliation will be investigated objectively and fairly. My experience left me with the opposite impression.
