Pros

Good range of projects and clients

Cons

No support whatsoever, being thrown in at the deep end and expected to make it work. Everyone apart from senior management is overworked and their mental health is suffering. No bonuses or incentives to be paid in 2021 "due to COVID", even though the workload for consulting increased over the last year.

Pros

Great pay initially, especially after negotiating. People are very smart and willing to meet for networking and learning opportunities. Flexibility and work life balance is by far the best perk - especially since many roles are fully remote.

Cons

Merit raises have been subpar the last 4 years and do not come close to keeping with inflation, consistently the company cites great EBITDA growth but that never is shown in bonuses nor merit raises despite receiving “exceeds expectations” ratings. Parental leave is a nominal. Very easy to get “lost in the sauce” of such a large company.
