Pros
You get a nice Macbook which you can't use with any client. You can work from home.
Cons
No annual pay rise (not even with inflation), bonuses for senior and above not junior/midlevel. Recruitment at higher than average pay ranges, so new recruits paid substantially more. Senior staff (esp Managing consultant and above) huff their own gas and think they are going through "difficult times" like the rest of us when theyre on 6 digit salaries with 5 digit bonuses. "Leaders" are delusional and shill for AI hype products, while the stock has collapsed ever since AI investment started getting pushed. Structure is designed very purposefully to remove recourse for complaint, your people manager is detached from pay, benefits, and performance which means you need to "schedule a call" with your "family lead" The projects you get are alright, But you realise based on the motivation and competence (or lack of) from your colleagues means you are just rinsing money and not given enough time to push through meaningful change
