Pros
Some good pillars around culture put in place. No travel (great for those with families) Will hire people from industry (some may disrespect industry people) Many great people work there Work life balance for consulting (I average 47-50 hrs a week)
Cons
- Inclusivity issues - Too much "Us vs Them" (practice vs practice, market vs market, pre-covid hires vs post covid hires, those that started in consulting at Slalom vs at a big 4) basically high school stuff - Poorly developed leadership that skipped leadership 101 lessons, such as praise in public provide constructive feedback in private, stay calm under the storm, empower and do not micromanage, ... - Way too much politics - Little investment in people in terms of time - College hires stay clear, the development of young talent is the worst I seen in 25+ years of working, and the mentoring is spoty - Diversity needs improvement - High levels of unjustified arrogance - Too much kool aid drinking, keeps the place from evolving - Work Life Balance if you are coming from industry or college
