Land of Misfit Toys - Anonymous employee MIGSO-PCUBED Employee Review

If you're looking for a career as a consultant, this will not help elevate your game. Not sure if it's job market forces in recent years, but they'll take anybody and I mean anybody. While they tout themselves as a management consultant company, it is really more like a staffing agency in terms of the caliber of people they push through and the salaries they pay. I've seen things that would be absolutely unacceptable within any other company I've worked for in my career. I've worked with many well known management consulting companies and they typically employ the cream of the crop. This is not the case at Pcubed and it's not limited to the people in the trenches; it also shockingly exists within the corporate offices and executive positions. When I was in salary negotiations, I could not pin down the recruiter on the frequency of salary increases. I came to find out from peers that it's a rare thing. Be forewarned. The performance review template is an absurdly cumbersome multi-tabbed Excel workbook--like nothing I've ever seen. Plan to spend hours working on it. The long-timers are very cliquey and badmouth other employees behind their backs. While I don't have a ton of concrete evidence, I have enough circumstantial to say I feel I was played and that people in leadership roles did not act trustworthy with me. Also, if you interview, plan to give a PPT presentation "selling" Pcubed to fictional prospective clients. While that makes sense if you're in a sales position, the majority of the positions are project/program management. If anything, the presentation should be centered around a fictional project and how the individual would tackle the scenario. Should've been a red flag to me that they do things that don't make sense and are incongruent with good business practices.
