Pros

The company has many templates and tools that can be leveraged from project to project. Some consultants seem to be nice an and the projects seem to be in the nicer cities.

Cons

Management is extremely selfish. There is little to no work/life balance. Extremely high turn-over. I strongly recommend anyone considering this employer to think twice.

Pros

- nice office and locations, the new office is in front of Madison square park. - free bagels and spread on Wednesday, lots of free snacks and coffee. - pretty chill environment and people overall.

Cons

There are a lot of teams so depending on which you're on will decide if you 'survive' at the lap. My manager couldn't be bother to properly train me and left me pretty much on my own barely 30 days in. I made friends on other teams so I know that's not how it is all around. Not the greatest onboarding - again you'll meet a lot of people in the first week but not sure how they fit into your teams, you'll have to figure that out on your own. Lots of meetings.
