Pros

1. You can squeeze a few weekend getaways when you get foreign travel (albeit you'll be carrying your laptop of course but can manage to explore) 2. If you're on a travel heavy project you can collect air miles/hotel and credit card points 3. Folks in the NY office seem fairly happy 4. Very young team - decent peer group 5. From the lens of an analyst - very good opportunities wrt client face time which you won't get at most other places

Cons

1. Extremely long working hours - you have to burn the midnight oil through most days including most weekends - when you're given a lot of firm development work 2. Partners are not considerate of your health, your career progression plans, overall fairly opaque 3. Expectations can often get irrational - wrt both firm development work piled on you as well as project timeline expectations

Pros

- Reasonably valuable experience for undergraduates, so that they can apply to B-Schools - Opportunity to work with senior management of (indirect) client organizations - Opportunity to get overseas experience for people seeking it (this can be pretty random though)

Cons

- The management are great marketers of a so-called "high performance culture" which is absolute nonsense in reality. It is a facade to extract the maximum possible work from employees without paying any regard to their health, work-life balance or general opinions about the type of work and travel. - The firm lacks credibility both in the extremely few no. of clients as well as the lack of any significant projects for them - Nepotism is rife with certain employees treating the firm as if it were their own family business and most others willing to leave imminently - Lack of growth or career progression is a well-known problem inside the office. The Delhi office has never had a manager. - Association with the firm has been a kind of stigma in the job market

You seem to imply that for an early stage firm to have few clients is a fault. Our business strategy has always been to have a relatively few clients and have close relationships that are reflected in constant new projects for those clients. We do have a small (and growing) number of clients, but we are a small (and growing) firm. We have been blessed with the problem of having to refuse projects because we cannot hire and train fast enough to meet the demand. What you portray as a bug is a feature. We have never made a secret of our client relationship strategy and we never made secret of our company size.
