Svantaggi
- Work life balance can be an issue. Typically depends on project or client, but expectation is more to get the job done than do 40 hrs and call it a day. Strategy projects tend to be worse in this regard. - Mentoring is a huge focus but tends to be an after-hours activity. This can stress the work life balance more or can get deferred. Typically, this falls into doing extra work after your main client work. - A by product of always growing those under you, your mentor could be new to the role and not very experienced in it. - Variations in offices can lead to different cultures or gaps in capabilities expected at different same level. - Majority of the people you interact with are those on your project - it can be challenging to meet others within the office if you do not share a project with them. - Generalist model and single career path could be a con if someone wants to be more of a specialist.
