Good work/life balance but undefined career path

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent work/life balance. for a consulting organization it offers far more vacation time and fewer hours per week than most other consulting groups. management in certain business units is excellent and they listen to the people in that group.

Cons

still very fragmented. business units competing against each other makes it difficult to share resources between groups. Despite adding an additional Title, there is still no defined career path. This is disappointing to younger employees who need a "ladder" to aspire towards. Review process is largely ignored or given the backseat to client/project obligations. This does show dedication to the client but management should definitely show that their employees are important too.
