Vantaggi
- working with interesting people from a variety of career backgrounds - opportunity to build relationships with your co-workers - ability to shape your time and impact outside of client work
Svantaggi
- drinking and socializing is the most straightforward way to get promoted - lack of work/life balance: work weeks are expected to be 43 hours on average. not counting additional internal work you are doing - and everyone does some internal work. - lack of objective promotion criteria. we all think we are judged on the same competency matrix but not all performance managers adhere to that structure or make it explicit outside of annual review time. - the pay is terrible when you compare it to our competitors. you can work harder for more bonus $$ but your salary will barely increase annually. - clients not diverse enough, feels like we are just staff augmentation for a few big clients - no HR department or escalation for internal issues or questions - LT not professional - talking about other consultants publicly
