Vantaggi
Amazing people who want each other to succeed. No travel! Great WLB. Can try out new industries/verticals.
Svantaggi
Too nice - below average performers are allowed to stick around or even get promoted. There is a culture where conflict is avoided at all costs, constructive feedback is rare to avoid hurting anyones feelings. Local model creates unfair challenges to new markets as promotions are based on standard corporate metrics - easy to hit in mature markets, almost impossible in new markets. Immature training programs with an overemphasis on technology. People from industry are not given consulting training, especially presentation, communication skills and business foundations. Pay does not keep up with competitors, is a hard company to stay at for multiple years as pay increases lag inflation. Decentralized industry knowledge, experts and content, makes it impossible to compete with B4
