Pros

Good pay for what they are asking hires todo.

Cons

- Senior management appears to be disconnected from the latest advancements in the consulting sector. They continue to rely on technology and methodologies reminiscent of those used at the beginning of my consulting career. - Surprisingly, the company lacks a comprehensive CRM system. So, sales is a disconnected process across business functions. - The approach to knowledge management is subpar. Without a proper archival system, knowledge sharing is inefficiently handled through email, which is far from ideal. - As for marketing, the strategy seems limited to writing and publishing blog posts on LinkedIn. A visit to the blog reveals a lack of insightful or thought-provoking content. It adheres to an outdated marketing approach focused solely on blog post promotion, a strategy that has not evolved in the past two decades.

Pros

You’ll be surrounded by some switched-on people, and if you pick things up quickly, they’ll throw you in the deep end with real responsibilities early on. There's a lot you can learn if you’re up for figuring it out on your own no one’s going to micromanage you.The firm’s well known for stepping in during big corporate messes restructuring, turnarounds, crisis situations so if you're into that kind of high-stakes work, you’ll definitely be thrown in quickly. You’ll learn loads on the job, especially if you're willing to crack on without much handholding.

Cons

The culture is very much just get it done, no matter the cost . And while the firm likes to say it's different from traditional consulting, the hours and pressure are very much the same, if not worse. It’s a high-pressure environment with little support, and while it might be similar to others in the industry, that doesn’t make it any more sustainable or enjoyable. Burnout feels part of the job description.And while the pay is decent, it starts to feel less worth it once the long nights, last-minute travel, and personal sacrifices start stacking up.
