Pluspunten

Remote work with flexible schedules that allows you to work whenever

Minpunten

This role initially appeared to be meaningful and mission-oriented, but the reality quickly turned into a distressing experience. A concerning number of Black leaders left abruptly—many pushed out in ways that reflected deeper structural issues. Racial tokenism is rampant, with little real support or sponsorship to ensure your success as a leader. Microaggressions are a regular part of the workplace culture, often dismissed or minimized by leadership. The environment fosters gossip, cliques, and exclusion—especially within the poorly run West segment. The project pipeline is weak, causing underutilization for some while junior consultants are overworked and underpaid. What looked like a values-driven opportunity ended up being psychologically unsafe. If you value equity, professionalism, and a healthy work environment, look elsewhere.

Pluspunten

I work directly with excellent people. My immediate colleagues are collaborative, capable, and committed to doing high-quality work for clients.

Minpunten

The biggest challenges tend to come from the corporate side of the organization. Corporate processes and communication can sometimes feel disconnected from the needs of project teams, which creates unnecessary friction. In addition, benefits that were once stronger, including 401(k) matching and medical coverage, have been significantly reduced. A recent example is the increased emphasis on “utilization rates” in merit increases. While utilization is understandable in a consulting environment, tying it too heavily to merit can effectively penalize employees for using earned vacation time and can make PTO feel less like a real benefit.
