Pros
Flexible work schedule and smart, hard working colleagues
Cons
- Work/life balance is not good. They have "unlimited PTO" but that is not really the case. Since your performance is based on billability rate, you need to reach 90% (at least for senior consultant) by the end of the calendar year or you face a bad review. To meet this, you must work over 40 hours a week and if you want to take off it counts against your billability rate. So, it really is more "move your hours around and work over 40 hours a week consistently in order to be able to take off". There is no actual leave. - poor management. The associate director on my project could not manage the client which led to the client flip flopping their decisions and having us redo work constantly. In the time I worked on the project, we did not move the project forward at all. The client even said at one point that they didn't believe in the project. It was so bad that in a 6-month span, 6 people left the project and/or company (averaging 1 per month). I gave this feedback when I left, but from my understanding nothing was done and this person was actually promoted.
