Vantaggi
None that outweigh the overall experience.
Svantaggi
* Trust is broken between leadership messaging and actual expectations
* If you don’t mind working long hours and working hard, this environment will still continue to push you further with little regard for sustainability
* Billable hour expectations are not formally stated, but are heavily enforced and can increase mid-week (e.g., 55 billable hours set on Friday for the following week, then increased to 60 midweek)
* The “pool system” amplifies this pressure by adding more work regardless of existing workload, creating constant shifting priorities and lack of ownership
* Even when performing at a high level, expectations continue to increase rather than stabilize
* Culture feels focused on maximizing output rather than recognizing or appreciating contributions
* Significant disconnect between recruiting messaging and actual experience (hours, flexibility, workload)
* Compensation is below market relative to the workload and expectations
* Unrealistic turnaround expectations, including same-day assignments while managing ongoing client responsibilities
* Lack of alignment between assigned work and actual capacity or tenure
* Poor planning and last-minute demands add unnecessary stress
* Overall, the workload model is not sustainable and leads to burnout
