Pros

Some genuinely good people here. Mostly the new (younger generation). Work/life balance and flexibility is improving.

Cons

Management will do whatever it takes to keep black women from advancing. Those who advance are forced into lateral moves or toxic roles. Expect to work twice as hard as your white counterparts. Eventually you will burnout from the exorbitant workload they put on you and give up. Once you begin to notice what’s going on and reach out for help, you might as well start packing your bags. HR is not your friend and management is skilled at engineering scenarios that force you out or trigger a reaction from you that they can highlight —beware! You will watch white employees leave at 5pm while you are working until midnight. Do not come here if you are a black female. It is degrading and you will leave a shell of your former self.

Pros

A lot of smart people to learn from

Cons

A lot of people leave. Utilization is also a dumb metric now with how much money they are dumping into their AI. Work is getting done quicker, hence less hours are being charged even when busy. Margins are consistently up despite hours being down so I don't get the need for higher utilzation KPI's anymore. On top of that, managers make you "eat" your chargeable hours to stay within their very small budgets now too, so utilzation does not really reflect anything meaningful anymore. Commercial consultants work 1.5-2x more than federal consultants but federal consultants are usually 100% utilzed because they must use the full budget despite the work not taking as long/as stressful of deadlines.
