Pros
People are mostly good, smart and capable Better balance than several consulting firms
Cons
Similar to a lot of the reviews (even 5 star ones)- the work is uninspired, tight timelines and the inability to pushback with clients (Understandably the client is the boss, but we need to have a spine of sorts so they take us and our work seriously) - People like to say we're a partner to our clients but thats not how they see us- we are a vendor who does what they ask. Scope change, constantly trying to provide projects for cheap etc. impacts how we're viewed - Exit opportunities are limited - Deliverables, proposals are recycled - Leadership is supposedly always busy working on proposals so they're absent on projects. But then we recycle proposals and have a proposal team in India- so what are they doing? - We kick-off and begin projects without a team in place- then the resourcing manager scrambles to find people with a few hours to put together materials that have been promised to the client. A few people with no project context then perform those tasks (typically recycling from old work) - Centers of excellence now force people to do their projects with this new passport system- once you do one they next ID you for more projects - Top heavy- Junior staff is stretched while managers are not overstaffed. Few opportunities
