Pros

Competitive pay and genuinely nice ex-Booz people, although most are jumping ship.

Cons

- Strategy& recruits from the best Grad schools and then fires it's Senior Associates 8 months in because of 'utilization'. This happened in FY 2016 and FY 2015. - This firm claims to invest in coaching & development of its talent but you can expect to remain unstaffed because Managers & Directors would rather staff someone with experience. - The ever present threat (sometimes through the year) of getting fired coupled with a weak pipeline of projects leads to a toxic culture. Also utilization is a metric only in your performance, so no one is really incentivized to get you staffed.

Pros

Compensation is comparable to MBB at senior consultant level

Cons

You're put into a specific practice since day one and it's difficult to switch. If you end up in the PE practice, say goodbye to your personal life. Many managers are great at putting together analyses, but have zero team management skills
