Pros

Anyone from PMD to associate level are very nice, hard-working, and care about quality and their co-workers. Work/life balance is solid with competitive pay for consulting/advisory compared to the big 4.

Cons

Since the sale to New Mountain Capital, the only focus for C-suite and national management has been profit, utilization, moving to AI and India utilization, and gutting the US staff. They keep trying to integrate AI unsuccessfully and spend way too much time and focus there instead of retaining talent/hard workers.

Pros

Some folks are great to work with. Some of the leaders really do care.

Cons

Workday practice is a total mess. They have trouble selling work and hours are much lower than they should be so consultants end up spread very thin across multiple projects and still can't hit utilization targets on paper even if they are working very hard in actuality. The independence requirements are insane!! If I had known I would have to disclose all of my investments and be told wha t I am or am not allowed to invest money in I would not have taken the job. Independence is total hell and most consulting firms don't subject employees to those invasive requirements.
