Vantaggi

Healthcare benefit are decent. If you have a manager who cares and advocates for you, you can climb the ranks.

Svantaggi

Only focused on acquiring companies to grow the business. Ironically they offer M&A and transformation and change services to clients but are terrible at implementing it in their own company. Terrible communication, you have the sense that leadership does not care about individuals at all. All of their internal processes and systems are clunky and inefficient with limited transparency on how decisions are made. It's all the cons of french bureaucracy and american capitalism without any of the benefits. The only performance metric they care about is your individual "utilization" rate- not group level. The utilization target is like 80% but as a manager you are also expected to hit absurd BD targets. In addition to these absurd targets, you are also required to participate in "squads" (i.e. developing new offerings and pitching them). There is zero transparency on how you are scored on your performance. The game is set up to fail- unless you have a strong advocate on your side who can plead your case, is respected and savvy enough to learn how to game the system. Partners only care about getting credit for new business, they don't care about keeping their staff utilized and employed. There are only two people that run the entire company- which is terrible bottleneck and no one is able to actually get anything done. Do NOT work here. It's a mess.

Vantaggi

- Depending on the business unit, you can find supportive, friendly colleagues. There is a strong sense of camaraderie at the peer level, which makes day-to-day work more pleasant. - There is also a relatively good work-life balance overall. However, it is sometimes unclear whether this is the result of a genuine company culture that prioritizes balance, or rather a consequence of inconsistent planning and organization, which can lead to periods of under- or over-allocation. - Decent healthcare benefits

Svantaggi

- Clear lack of structure and transparency, particularly regarding promotions, bonuses, and compensation adjustments. Processes are inconsistent, often unclear, and sometimes feel arbitrary. In several cases, expected salary adjustments were delayed, minimized, or only granted after persistent follow-up. Bonuses are not always proactively distributed and may require employees to explicitly chase them. - Favoritism is a concern, with recognition and advancement not always based on merit. The culture at higher levels can sometimes feel unprofessional, with blurred boundaries that create discomfort. - Long-term employees tend to feel undervalued over time. Many leave after around two years, often because they see a very limited progression. - Overall impression that the company tends to optimize costs at the expense of employees whenever possible, which affects trust and long-term engagement. - Leadership tolerates or fails to address inappropriate, unprofessional, or toxic behaviors. It can go unchecked for years, with action only taken very late, sometimes for reasons unrelated to the misconduct..
