Pros

There are no pros from working here. You will only find confusion, sorrow, exhaustion, obnoxious behavior, arrogance by partners, hoarding of information by coworkers, fatigue, stress, and zero teamwork.

Cons

Everything about this place was a big negative experience. Partners snorting illicit powdered substances prior to meetings in order to function. Engagement managers doing shady things financially in order to make themselves look good, but to the detriment of their workers. The work is not rewarding and not complex but due to the stifling administrative bureaucracy, what should only take a day ends up taking a week. Constant scheduling conflicts, people schedule and cancel the same meeting multiple times (triple and quadruple bookings). Everything is Always last minute and rushed with very poor planning and forethought which causes unnecessary stress and conflict.
