Pros

- Positive attitude, relatively down to earth people (for Mgt. consulting) - Good feedback culture - feel valued, also feel comfortable making complaints to mgr - Very high autonomy in staffing - if you find a nice project and convince the partner, you will get it. But: there is no need - if you don't have the network you'll get OK staffing regardless - Good attitudes towards family commitments and people taking parental leave etc. I find this good corporate citizenship - Opportunity for "Golden Passport" if you want it: 2 yrs in a different office anywhere in the world. Pretty fun way to explore a new place in the world! - Scandal-Free: might be due to smaller size, but I don't think we have anything near the scandals of some of our larger competitors. I think that reflects strong ethics & culture!

Cons

- Smaller offices than competitors - if you like bustling offices, may be sth. to consider - Chaotic staffing - they seem to have a pretty non-standardised process, which can be disconcerting for new hires - Perf. Review and promotion only once per year. Means if you want to do your 2 years and leave you might need to stay a bit longer for your promotion before leaving.

Pros

Good culture, solid pay, good benefits

Cons

Same as with most big companies. HR a little too focused on DEI and feel good inclusion initiatives over things that matter to most employees and clients. Top management messaging is generic and seems forced. But all senior leadership seem fairly genuine and good people vs. hyper focused on dollars alone.
