Pros

Decent work life balance. My position was fully remote, which was nice. Expectations are clear, onboarding is good. PTO isn’t bad, I got 4 weeks.

Cons

Pay. I was making significantly lower than average salary for a sr analyst. I Asked for a market raise, was told it wasn’t in the budget. I got a 1.2% raise this year, which is laughable. The average raise was about 3% yoy. The company also lied about layoffs, saying they were done in February. I was laid off a few months later. Typical corporate nonsense, promises about being a family and all that good stuff lol. There are also a lot of egos here, so keep that in mind. Also, every performance review you have will be “meets expectations “ regardless of how hard or how little you work.

Pros

I work directly with excellent people. My immediate colleagues are collaborative, capable, and committed to doing high-quality work for clients.

Cons

The biggest challenges tend to come from the corporate side of the organization. Corporate processes and communication can sometimes feel disconnected from the needs of project teams, which creates unnecessary friction. In addition, benefits that were once stronger, including 401(k) matching and medical coverage, have been significantly reduced. A recent example is the increased emphasis on “utilization rates” in merit increases. While utilization is understandable in a consulting environment, tying it too heavily to merit can effectively penalize employees for using earned vacation time and can make PTO feel less like a real benefit.
