Pros

MCM has a nice work like balance. Some industry teams are better than others (e.g.: A&D is very active... Chemicals- not so much). Also better career opportunities with working in the HQ (Costa Mesa) and satellite offices. Senior leadership are pretty accessible to juniors.

Cons

It is very difficult for analysts to be promoted. Most I know seem to be stuck in the analyst pool, only to progress to "senior analyst" after a few years, but really without much change to your compensation or responsibilities. Finally, MCM is a very top-heavy organization.

Pros

If you are in the right team, with good seniors and good managers you will have a good time with the work. Hybrid was a very nice touch, they were pretty good about allowing you your two days at home if you wanted them. Benefits were decent

Cons

Very, very team dependent. A ton of seniors seriously don't want to teach at all. I remember coming up, and even after I was a senior, listening to people complain so much that they got a first year, and they did not want to teach them or didn't have time to. Its a huge popularity contest on if you get good jobs or not. Partners will make you work the most crap jobs and keep all the good jobs for their favorites. They use and abuse people so often. Got laid off 1 day after the busy season.
