Pros
- Very smart, hardworking people (a large majority of the senior level employees are people you respect on a deep level and aim to emulate in your own career) - Great clients, good exposure to several industries - You'll gain skills you'll use for life - I learned more as an entry-level employee than I would anywhere else - Your work might become your life, but for the most part it's exciting and engaging work - you'll find yourself wanting to talk about aspects of your work with friends and family because it can be truly interesting
Cons
- Your happiness and work/life balance at MaPS is extremely dependent on your projects. If you get stuck on a poorly managed project there is no easy way out - this can be the difference between loving your job at MaPS and quitting earlier than you expected - The is a formal review process which is GREAT but it can feel like feedback on managers isn't taken as seriously as it should be - emphasizing management development at MaPS would go far to improve retention among RAs/Consultants. - There is not enough emphasis on getting work done efficiently - wasting time in details is rampant, which can directly cause the late hours lack of work/life balance. Project managers should be encouraged by senior management to maintain quality AND efficiency of work.
