Svantaggi
- There are many projects that feel like contracting instead of consulting (meaning doing the work that full time employees should be handling) - Salary feels low for industry when compare to hours worked, benefits, and type of projects - With new clients or clients that are worrying about the project, there is sometimes a culture of micromanagement and always being at your desk (look like you are working) - Some managers are a little more Spanish in their management style, which can conflict with American work culture - The hours for the consulting industry are okay, however it's possible to work elsewhere and be paid more for less time in the office. If stuck on a boring project, the hours do not feel worth it.
