Pros

Great people to work with. A lot of peer learning going on every project. Lots of career opportunities (industry specific, function specific, geographically). The firm is growing strongly, so it is getting easier to get staffed into projects which are interesting for each consultant. Also, bonuses were good last year. On the soft side, culture is really different. There is a lot of collaboration among consultants, even at a partner level.

Cons

Long hours, sometimes unnecessarily. The negative fact of growing so fast is that utilization is high and there is not much "on the beach" time to "rest" between projects.

Pros

If you’re fresh out of school and don’t have a specific skill and don’t know what to do, and you’re willing to be a yes man then yes it might be a good place to figure out your next step.

Cons

- Lack of pipeline for certain practices (and they will blame that on you saying your utilization is low but there’s nothing you can do at an associate level) - Full of people that feel good about themselves but they actually knows nothing about how actual industry work - No talent - Management will give you vague feedback that you can’t act on, For example, I got asked to “elevate the deck” but when I asked is it the messaging or is it the format etc they can’t give me anything specific - The expectation on work quality is inconsistent - Some manager level people can’t do excel which is shocking - You need to be a people pleaser in order to get promoted
