Pros

• The consultants are outstanding — smart, collaborative, and genuinely dedicated to clients. • Exposure to strong cybersecurity and compliance projects.

Kontras

Once you’re exposed to leadership, the experience shifts from rewarding to miserable. They keep “yes” people who protect egos instead of those who do quality work. • Leadership systematically removed women and anyone who questioned decisions. Those who spoke up were marginalized or pushed out. • The few women left are mainly in back-office roles with little client exposure — a telling reflection of misplaced priorities. • There’s zero trust in the consultants actually building client relationships and delivering results. Leadership obsesses over control and appearances instead of performance and outcomes. • Sales and marketing have added little measurable value, yet consultants carry the company’s reputation while others take credit. • “Budget” layoffs are reframed as “performance” issues even after confirming otherwise — pure manipulation. • Management hides behind the EOS framework but cherry-picks only what benefits them. Offer an idea or improvement, and you risk public reprimand — that’s not EOS; that’s intimidation. • Fear-based management continues: if bonuses are too high, they quietly move the goalposts. Consultants are micromanaged and even belittled on client calls. • Constructive feedback isn’t valued; it’s punished.

Pros

Small teams make for a great environment to make individual contributions to team and company success. You never feel lost on the team, and making friends with coworkers is super easy. The experience, knowledge, and technical expertise of the team is amazing. We take pride in our work, constantly strive to improve ourselves and the team. We have a supportive and collaborative culture that encourages you to be the best you can be, and then be better than that. You are expected to be good on day one and after that the onus is on you to become the best practitioner you can be. Pressure for individual growth doesn't come from the rest of the team or management, but rather from self-motivation and desire to grow. These feelings seem to be shared almost universally across the team. Challenging environments can be rewarding in the technical space. Consistent business growth YoY. Awesome bonus structure, non-competitive and based directly on individual contribution to company success. When the company does well, you do very well. No office politics or colleague back-stabbing to get ahead. Complete lack of micromanagement. Management is very supportive of professional development. Everyone is super nice, supportive, and for the most part team members are easy to work with. Remote work helps make WLB easy. Holiday party is always a blast!

Kontras

Basically non-existent internal growth opportunities. If you want to remain a practitioner for a long period of time, this is a good place to be. But there's pretty much no upward mobility. The VAS BU is very "Senior" heavy with a pretty high workload the majority of the year. Because we have such a high operational tempo during Q2-Q4, even if we had junior team members, it would be difficult to provide them mentorship and challenging work for their experience level and for them to provide meaningful contributions to projects. All of this would make it difficult for the team to bring on junior team members. Healthcare is expensive. Minimal interactions with upper management. PTO, retirement contributions, and salary (overall TC) are just industry standard. It's not exactly a bad thing, but it certainly doesn't stand out as a "Pro". Bonuses make up for this a lot though.
