Private Sector Operations Consulting - Politics not hard work
Pros: Some people are less interested in politics and have a more genuine interest in doing a good job.
Cons: In the Private Sector Operations Consulting practice, more people are interested in politics and baseless promotions rather than hard work and developing oneself professionally.  This behaviour is supported by a phony leadership team with an approach to people management that does not reward hard work and capable people but rather those who play the game well. It is widely accepted that the leadership team plays favourites and that the end-of-year performance reviews are popularity contests.  Wide-spread discontent is evidenced by low levels of morale and high staff turnover.
