Pros

The health insurance and time off policies

Cons

The benefits are excellent but this is offset by a few significant things. The comp is below market value, the culture is poor, and the workload is extremely high. I have never before witnessed so much disrespect and negativity in the workplace. Reading other reviews, the culture may be different in other departments. Although based on what I’ve seen from other groups, I’m not convinced. In Finance, the culture is ripe with passive-aggressive, exclusive, and overall toxic behavior. I wish I had known this before joining as it has taken a huge toll on my mental health. Another point worth mentioning is for all of the long hours and pain you endure, there is such a limited potential for advancement unless you move teams/functions. Odd for an organization that is hyper-focused on hierarchy and status. Anyone and everyone is looking to take their stress out on you verbally and/or passive-aggressively and that has been normalized.

Pros

I'm in a NAMR Knowledge Team so take that with a grain. Fantastic team manager, really dedicated to building up offerings and has a clear pathway forward. Fun to work with. Work is very flexible, most teams are supporting of hybrid and making room for life stuff in the workday. Work Life balance is great. Content is interesting to develop, case work can be tough some times, but KT has the ability to set clear boundaries, compared to consultants.

Cons

Others have said it before, but the opportunities for career advancement in Knowledge Teams feel out of one's control. You need to collect "feedback" from case teams, who don't really understand your role and see you as an underperformer, because you aren't working insane hours like them. You don't really get to "choose" what cases you work on, so its a toss up if you get noticed by someone worthwhile. People who are higher up often come in at their level, or have miraculously gotten noticed by some MDP, who gave them a good review. I'm sure its possible, but I don't know many people who have gotten more than one promo here. Also, there's no shot of becoming a consultant. You could be "Client Focused" in KT and work 2x the hours for half a consultant's pay if you want.
