Strong culture - over focus on consulting talent

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great culture - very active in engaging with employees at all levels, across the globe. You may work with some of the most intelligent people who also enjoy being fun and have bring a sense of meaning to consulting

Cons

If you aren't a client-facing resource or consultant, there's limited mentorship or engagement with leaders beyond what's transactional. Internal resources can be treated like second class citizens and consultants can engage with internal resources rudely with no consequence. When cases aren't going well or pressure is on, internal resources can be treated as a punching bag.

Great support and benefits but too many of us need to rely on them to stay in the job

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

HR support is fantastic - they go above and beyond to make sure you and your health are ok.

Cons

It is very hard to do this job if you have anything going on in your personal life. You need to be 100% on the project. I was advised by a senior mentor to roll off a project when something happened in my personal life. We raise several concerns in an annual people survey. It doesn't feel like any of our feedback is taken on board.
