Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

Great place to get started, but leave soon thereafter
Pros: - Team that puts its people first and allows them to pick their priorities
- Ton of autonomy even to junior team members to plan and execute their work
- Openness to new ideas (though those ideas may not always be acted upon)
- Focus on new initiatives or improvements that address some of the cons (expense policy and system has thankfully been made a lot less painful)
Cons: - Light years behind competitors wrt to evolving world around us eg no capabilities to serve to newer tech-led business models. New initiatives around this are too few and too late
- Unclear career progression path with the only way to assure a promotion being to attach yourself, curry favor and build goodwill with one team leader as opposed to working across industries and functions which may defeat the purpose of being in consulting for some but may just work for others
- Graduate freshers are out through the same training program as post-graduates with 4 years of experience
- Firm processes are a pain to navigate and this causes unnecessary delays in client delivery, much to the chagrin of clients
- Firm can be quite cheap when it comes to IT infra and software
- New systems launches without an understanding of ancillary systems they depend on
