Pros

Great place to work. If you like a competitive environment that favors the client over the home team, and a management group that runs you 24-7. There are great rewards- if you can claw your way up to Director. Did I mention teamwork? I guess not, because there isn't any. If you have your own set of clients and can start as a Director or higher, then why not join up? Are you a young consultant just out of school? See if you can hack it.

Cons

If you have a family, you can kiss them goodbye. Because you are going to be working, working, working, 24-7. If you're not a mind reader or a butt kisser, look for work elsewhere. If you cannot prove that you are building their business (bringing clients in or making existing clients happy) then you are toast. Just getting the work done is not enough.

* Strong brand recognition and an impressive roster of clients and projects. * Opportunity to work with talented colleagues across multiple business segments. * Exposure to a fast-paced environment that provides significant professional growth and learning opportunities.

Cons

* Lack of consistent leadership visibility and clear strategic direction across parts of the organization. * Communication from senior leadership can be limited, leaving employees without a clear understanding of priorities and long-term goals. * Decision-making often feels reactive rather than proactive. * Accountability and partnership are inconsistent across teams and business segments. * Employees may not always feel adequately supported when raising concerns or navigating challenging situations. * Leadership teams are often stretched thin, which can impact coaching, communication, and overall employee support. * Performance evaluation and promotion processes can lack transparency, making it difficult to understand how decisions are made. * Employee experiences can vary significantly depending on team, manager, and business segment. * Opportunities for feedback exist, but employees do not always see meaningful action taken in response to recurring concerns. * Collaboration and cross-functional alignment can be challenging at times due to differing priorities and expectations.
