Vantaggi
The people are incredibly smart, and the benefits package—especially maternity leave—is excellent. I appreciated the idea of the ESOP, though in practice it didn’t quite feel as impactful as you’d expect. I also liked the idea of going into the office, but without clear purpose, focus, or incentives, it lost its value. The performance review structure had promise, but the time and effort invested didn’t seem to make the process any more transparent or fair. Lastly, I liked that the company positioned itself as a B-Corp, though for a management consulting firm, it never fully made sense in practice.
Svantaggi
Heavy focus on sales, with the expectation to bill 41+ hours a week and then dedicate another 10 or more to internal work. Internally, everything is treated as urgent and on fire, which creates constant pressure. Following layoffs, employees were expected to absorb the responsibilities of eliminated roles, often juggling 10 different hats. While I personally benefited from the performance review process, it required 40+ hours every quarter and, despite its intention to be more fair and standardized, often created confusion and led to inconsistent quality.
