Pros
- Good people/teams to work with - Clear path for promotion if you can put in significant overtime
Cons
- Heavy shift into chargeable hour focus - Less focus on clients and more focused on having profitable engagements (eating time) but also pressured to reach a high chargeable hour goal - Significant pressure in the scheduling system to be overbooked if there are any client stalls resulting in teams usually being double or triple booked with no clear way to communicate this and shift work to other members. - Reduction of flexibility (RTO) - Must earn your flex days through chargeable hours - Less focused on people, and more focused on chargeable metrics - Highly redundant and incompetent information systems that results in significant administrative work for accountants (D365) - Pressure to eat hours - Lots of office politics/bias
