Pros
Remote work is the biggest benefit. The consulting model also provides exposure to client industries, which can be valuable experience for individuals building a procurement or consulting career.
Kontras
The company often flaunts new clients, but the working level sees no benefit other than more resource burdens, declining benefits, and stagnant salaries year over year. Compensation and benefits are generally below market relative to workload expectations. As the client base grows, consultant resources are often stretched, which can result in increased urgency and deadlines without corresponding adjustments in compensation. Annual salary increases for cost-of-living or expanded responsibilities are not consistently provided. Compensation growth typically requires either promotion or external job changes, and promotions at the individual contributor level appear limited. Recent changes to benefits have also reduced what was previously considered a competitive advantage. The company is clearly moving in a direction to maximize profits and eliminate spending, but at the expense of employee benefits and experience.
