I worked at Cedar Consulting

Pros – I think opportunity to good work has been told enuf. One more is that it will irreversibily change your personality. You will become cunning, political, sharp, protective (of ur work) and fast learner.

Cons – Agree with all the cons below. No point repeating. Except as above, no one has talked about what it will do to your family life - u will start treating ur family in same way as ur seniors treat u ... and u cant avoid it when u r living and breathing ur work 24x7. There is a lot wrong with this firm, and everything to do with its owner and senior management.

Advice to Senior Management – Only wayout is to shut or sell out - whole sr mgmt team +owner needs to be changed.
