Pros

* Easier ability to assume leadership of projects based on capability not tenure
* Wide variance of solution approaches allowed and room for individual solutions
* Generally do not have people looking over your shoulder in terms of project execution/deliverables - more expected to be competent until proven to be incompetent

Cons

* Limited information sharing - more ad hoc, informal networks leveraging prior content and knowledge
* In terms of their Transformation (Mgmt consulting) group: Inability to define a strategy and build content and reputation in the area - all things to all people
* Limited individual growth opportunities - expect to bring in much more knowledge than take away
* Large amount of project admin overhead with little visible benefit - shear momentum with reason
* Project bonus distribution well below expectations and tied to a process that seems designed to be difficult to complete (heavy reliance of completion of items by senior client executives)

Advice to Senior Management

* Simplify the administrative overhead - from travel admin, project admin, expenses submission, etc
* Identify a strategy and build strength in identified areas of emphasis instead of pretending to have a huge experience bench spanning all areas
