The owner fires the entire management team every few years. High-pressure work environment. Mandatory 50-hour weeks. Travel on your own time. High billable expectations. No bonuses. Micromanagement. Spyware on company computers.

Here are my thoughts: The only reason to let a member of the leadership team go is non performance. Consulting work is not for everyone - 50 hour weeks when working from home is not unreasonable. Many consulting firms expect 60+ hours. Travel is part of the job. Billable work is the lifeblood of a services firm. There are also times on the bench
Bonuses are paid when the company is profitable. Company computers are not private (in any organization) and monitoring is for security and IP protection. That said, there is no spyware on company machines. It's a hard job with high expectations. Not everyone is cut out for it or can maintain the pace or meet the high standards for deliverables. As the poster points out, we pay well.

Svantaggi
