Pros

Great company culture, smart and fun people to work and learn from, steep learning curve particular the first few years. Essentially a paid business school through key strategic topics across the corporate landscape

Cons

As consultant you never learn to execute, so after a few years you want to next step in actually building something

Pros

I received paid training, working closely with the marketing team. I didn’t find many companies that do that for their employees, especially since I didn’t have marketing experience prior. Everyone was helpful and friendly. I learned so much from my collegeues.

Cons

Small company No parking/ traffic is terrible in the morning

Pros

- Incredible reputation/ brand value: after leaving you will almost always get a final round interview at any company you are interested in - Ridiculously smart people: caliber is unparalleled and I was constantly blown away by how smart my colleagues were (associate to partner) - Great training: you'll learn how to structure and quantify very abstract problems and you'll learn a lot very fast - Good salary and perks (probably the best with work life balance compare to other firms in the area) - Most collaborative, down-to-earth culture - Alumni network is really active, opens several opportunities

Cons

- Staffing is a huge hit or miss: very political and you can end up becoming an expert on a super boring topic you have no interest in - A lot of schmoozing: sometimes its fun but other times you end up going to a team dinner for optics when you'd rather go to your hotel room and relax or catch up with family - Some clients are THE WORST: if you are sensitive or get angry easily, not the job for you. Ability to make them happy is a must
