Pros

Minimal travel for most of the consultants. You might have a commute, but you won't have to get on an airplane. Great office culture.

Cons

It's typical of consulting, but: There's a metric ton of overhead. The profit margin is very low, but the mark-up on consultants time is very high. To some extent this is the fault of the customers, who are mostly boring and slow moving. That makes for long sales cycles. The project are also less than exciting if you're on the tech side of things.

Pros

•There is an impressive budget, especially for high-level events, ancillary experiences, client giveaways, and premium swag. Management does not hesitate to fund top-notch brand experiences when needed. •The company offers a highly competitive benefits and perks package that remains a strong selling point.

Cons

•The "fiercely human" core value does not match daily operations. Collaboration is routinely replaced by a self-service model of training videos and help articles. •These recurring shifts are designed to manufacture the appearance of fiscal stability for the benefit of external stakeholders and clients, while leaving core operational deficits unaddressed. •Organizational maturity is low. Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
