Pros

The consultants who deliver the company’s services are highly intelligent, capable, and genuinely great to work with. The day-to-day collaboration within consulting teams is a strong positive.

Cons

HR-related issues significantly impact the employee experience. - There is no clear, structured employee handbook; updates have reportedly been “in progress” for over a year. - The US office is not international-employee friendly. Several colleagues experienced passive-aggressive responses from the head of HR when attempting to transition to another office due to visa-related constraints. - Unprofessional communication has been sent to employees who submitted resignations (e.g., “We would have made a different decision about your employment had we known your intentions to leave”). - Encourages more use of telehealth for medical insurance, which appears to prioritize cost savings over employee choice and access to care.
