Avantages
* Smart, helpful coworkers who genuinely want customers to succeed * Product/platform has real value and strong enterprise adoption * Good learning early on from complex customer work
Inconvénients
* In my experience, consulting is heavily driven by utilization and “urgency,” which creates a constant firefighting environment. * Weekend work and after-hours escalations can become normal on certain engagements without a clear on-call/coverage model. * Projects frequently felt under-scoped or started before requirements were truly finalized, leading to rework, compressed timelines, and customer escalations. * Internal process/tooling changes increased admin overhead (forecasting/timesheet friction) without clearly improving delivery outcomes. * Compensation progression felt weak over time: my initial offer was competitive, but raises/refreshers did not keep pace with increased expectations or cost of living. * Hybrid/RTO enforcement and monitoring added stress, while day-to-day workload remained intense.
