Pros

- Fair/good pay - Straight forward promotion structure - Consulting in general is a good career starter - Had 1-2 solid project managers when I was here, so I guess not everyone sucks - There is a Women Initiative Network (WIN), but no other sort of diversity/minority groups

Cons

- Many people are unhappy here.. some people leave without another offer at hand - Lots of complaints about it being an "old boys' club" as you move up; lots of men in management and not a good representation of women - Minimal room for growth / very little opportunities to be challenged - Management shows little to no care about employee growth / culture - Leadership lacks the "leadership" skills - don't know how to manage, lead, nor inspire their teams - Experience dependent on project staffing - possible to get stuck on a crap project for years or on a great project (those don't last) - Methodologies and technology used is way behind peers. There are much better financial and data analytics consulting firms who are working with bigger clients and working with more advanced technologies --> you should go to one of those instead. - Expensive health insurance policy

Pros

* 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.
