Pros
There are some genuinely smart, kind, collaborative people who work at this company. The non-client facing roles are where most of these people are. There are a good number of employee resources and training opportunities. Mobility opportunities within the company have expanded recently, and communication from the c-suite has been exceptional of late.
Cons
Good people are hard to come by, especially if you are in a client facing role. Most of the client-facing teams are toxic environments. Colleagues that are supposed to be your teammates, particularly upper management (including Sr Managers, Directors, and VPs) will not hesitate for one minute to throw you under the bus and deny any responsibility, regardless of the situation. Doing things the correct way is less important than doing things quickly (speed is always the name of the game, at a cost to everything else). In many roles, there is no regard to work-life balance; 70 hour work weeks have been the norm for the last year for many. On the leadership side, many leaders surround themselves exclusively with yes-people, to the point where exceptional employees who have been in the field for decades are pushed out. A disproportionate amount of leadership are also former consultants, particularly from McKinsey. This results in a lack of diversity of thought and training, as well as creates an exclusive club of high-level leaders that is difficult for non-consultants to penetrate. It also brings into question whether or not there is a ceiling that non-consultants will hit.
