Pros
Work life balance is better than most consulting firms; lots of great people still
Cons
Point B was acquired by a Private Equity firm. Since the transaction, the culture director was fired, virtually all employee events and perks were cancelled, headcount shrunk in half, layoffs have been rolling and unrelenting, key leaders have been terminated without recognition, revenue and profit fell off a cliff, the firm lost traction with key clients, and leadership was replaced by PE puppets. What once was a magical place has become a shell of its former self. The PE firm will undoubtedly turn a tidy profit by loading the firm with debt, eliminating "overhead," and restructuring assets in their favor, but the value to the employees - both tangible (ESOP valuation) and intangible (culture, etc.) - have been destroyed. Avoid at all costs if you care about the soul of a company.
