Pros

People are very close to one another at the firm. They value work life balance highly and make sure that their ACs don't have to work late just because managers might be working late.

Cons

Bonus is not that big

Pros

- Incredibly smart, supportive junior colleagues. They’re the only reason I stayed as long as I did. - Exposure to Fortune 100 clients and relatively high-stakes consulting work from day one (project-dependent), spanning strategy and CDD. - If you’re looking to upskill fast under pressure, this is a crash course like no other. Expect to stretch far beyond standard consulting tasks -including primary research and a lot of LinkedIn outreach and cold calling, not common in most other firms.

Cons

- A culture that talks about development but structurally undermines it -expect to be double-staffed, under-supported, and then told it's a growth opportunity and / or just your job. - The London office is consistently treated differently than US offices -expect double standards in staffing, support, and visibility. - To women: Assertiveness is labeled as being difficult or defensive. Performative equity exists in comms but rarely shows up in promotions or decision-making. You’ll watch less competent men be protected, promoted, and praised for the bare minimum. - “Cross-practice” in theory, but in reality, expect to be monopolized by one person for months with no input or rotation. - No boundaries, no consistency, and a worrying tolerance for burnout. - Feedback is often vague or nonexistent, and mentorship is personality-dependent rather than embedded in the culture. - Very few are willing to challenge leadership or push for real change. The fear of speaking up is real, and it trickles down into a culture of silence and terror. Disappointing.
