Pros

The people who you are hired in with become your best friends Development of analytic skills is excellent

Cons

Impossible billable hours goal that will have you working late weekdays, weekends, and holidays to meet Leadership and anyone above an analyst level is so overwhelmed that they do not take time to develop you and then submit bad feedback for everything that was out of your control and to cover their own butt Advertise a bonus but the bonus pool never starts at 100 percent. Meaning you can reach your billable hour goal, even exceed it and they will still have an excuse as to why they cannot give you 100%. Leadership picks favorites on who gets what amount. Claim you can work from home whenever you want but make you feel terrible when you need to and put all these added stipulations. You will work 50+ hours and still be forced to take PTO if you are not in the office 9-4. You do NOT get a raise with promotions. They role it into your yearly, they believe that giving you a 3-5% raise each year is doing you a huge favor and you should be grateful even though you average 50 hours a week and ask you to people manage and lead trainings. Tell you not to pass exams so they do not have to pay you more. If you do pass exams they will not move you to a position that you deserve. They have let so many rockstars walk away because of this. Consulting will be promoted in less than 2 years and have less analytical skills than you but since you are ASC they make you adhere to these outrageous ‘competencies’ I am sure this company used to be great but they have turned and now value profit over people.

Pros

Great teamwork. Overall very nice experience with interactions in other teams as well. Healthy & competitive PTO plan. In my team, management is wonderful, not requiring a person to put work over family - they encourage family/ work balance.

Cons

Wish there was a PPO health plan in the offered plans. Only has high-deductible plans. However, this year added an offering for supplemental AFLAC plan to help with that high deductible that is reasonably priced.
