Competitive salaries Lots of time off 401K Matching

Cons

Culture of bullying Favoritism, promotion based on social relationships not competence at job Micromanagement is common Annual goals impossible to meet so there is a record of why you are bad "Anonymous" annual surveys are not anonymous, I was actually confronted for answering "no" when asked if I thought it was a "great place to work".

Pros

A lot of smart people to learn from

Cons

A lot of people leave. Utilization is also a dumb metric now with how much money they are dumping into their AI. Work is getting done quicker, hence less hours are being charged even when busy. Margins are consistently up despite hours being down so I don't get the need for higher utilzation KPI's anymore. On top of that, managers make you "eat" your chargeable hours to stay within their very small budgets now too, so utilzation does not really reflect anything meaningful anymore. Commercial consultants work 1.5-2x more than federal consultants but federal consultants are usually 100% utilzed because they must use the full budget despite the work not taking as long/as stressful of deadlines.
