Pros

+ Working from home + Easy hiring process + Travel every other week typically (so you aren't forced to travel weekly)

Cons

- Lay offs galore - Executive leadership strategy does not trickle down to managers - Lots of company politics and having to "suck up" to directors to get a promotion (not merit based) - Company is indifferent about poor managerial skills - Clients often have bad POV of PTC - 4 month training academy for Associate Consultants is a joke.. Could be limited to 1 or 2 months! - Was hired with 15 others and told "guaranteed promotion to consultant within 6 months" - worked for a year without a promotion - WAY too many delays- i.e. wasn't assigned a manager until 6 months in and we were supposed to have one at 2 months. - Lots of misdirection.. Poor company foresight led to several months of "being on the bench" with no project work and stagnating. - Too much bureaucracy and lack of communication between various components of the company

Pros

Flexible, great colleagues, good HR training on goals and objectives

Cons

Depends on the group, toxic culture pockets exist, abusive and bullying behavior is laughed at and accepted rather than corrected, unclear strategy, business unit level vision is lacking, no accountability, several HR complaints against a manager go unaddressed, slow to change, can be chaotic, more interest in checking the box than hitting the right mark.
