Pros

No rigid structures and you work to your abilities. No one will hold you back from pursuing a path you would like to take.

Cons

Nothing is standardized. You have to fight for every nickel you get. Bonuses suck and salary increases have to be won by threatening to quit

Business outlook

Pros

Good place to learn. Generally attracts nurturing people who will pass on their knowledge. Good place to start career. Emphasis on work life balance.

Cons

Very inconsistent management - seems to have ideas but does not follow thru. No real competitive advantage in marketplace. High multipliers required for project profitability. Firm has had a tough time transitioning from a small firm to a large firm. grew rapidly in the 2000's and I feel it over expanded. "AKF way" and "vision 2020" seem to be failures but management does not seem to be able to acknowledge it. Feels to be an up or out firm right now with people that go up just paying for senior / ex-partners retirement.
