Pros

Professional training programs provided. Office location is convenient with lots of affordable and tasty foodcourt. System is very good especially the search engine which don't think other competitors will beat the system.

Cons

After new management took over, became more KPI driven and headcount turnover rate is very high. Don't feel be appreciated by the top management. Very realistic company and Top management didn't keep promise for the promotion and reward that promised. Lots of experienced and capable consultants, managers left due to disagreement with the management style. Also lots of fired due to poor performance in short period.

Pros

Great place for new recruiters to gain experience. A lot to learn. Younger crowd, fun teams.

Cons

Competitive, people that weren't succeeding would be put on PIPs and eventually let go. Can be some micro-managing. Not all managers created equal - some great, some not so great.
