Pros
* Peers / leaders with top-tier (MBB) consulting AND line management backgrounds, which makes a huge difference to our clients and our consultants' learning opportunities * Outstanding reputation in the Private Equity world. If you're thinking about going into PE via consulting, you'll want to bang on this door * Minimal travel, much better work-life balance than most other consulting firms (although this is still high-end consulting, not 9-5!) * Leadership who truly cares about developing the people; we are a family, and we stick together in good times and bad (e.g., no layoffs when Covid hit the business hard) * Best feedback culture I've ever seen (including three Fortune 500 firms) - highly structured, clear set of expectations, culture of regular feedback. If you want to grow, this is the place to do it * It is extremely unlikely you'll be the smartest person here - you will learn a LOT
Cons
* Typical small firm disadvantages - pricier health insurance, we don't have the fancy intranet sites of a Fortune 500, less name recognition (outside of Private Equity) than the "big guys" (although within PE, we've very well known) * We all work from home (when not in 2x/year firm meetings or at client sites - again, travel is minimum), which some people don't like as much, as we don't see each other in person as they might like
