Pros

- After working with a few different professional services firms it's hard to find one with such a well rounded culture - Super smart people who are engaged in your development - Interesting projects that are cross-industry which gives great exposure - Clients are typically executives which gives exposure to building a very experienced network

Cons

- Pace of work is fast and you have to juggle a lot of priorities, this is more a reflection on the consulting industry than it is for Level5 specifically

Fake it till you make it

Pros

- Small size means outsized opportunities on projects for growth and resume padding - Some really great middle management, many of whom are unfortunately gone - Quick promotions if one is a cultural fit - Good employee events for a typical boutique firm - Some in senior management still hold some very pure core values and work hard to sustain a positive work environment

Cons

- Very tribalistic culture. Good for some, uncomfortable for many. - Literally heard "fake it till you make it" from multiple leaders. Everything one reads online is carefully curated to give the right aura of a great boutique firm. After all, it's a very traditional marketing firm. - Turnover is so high, the org has been stuck for over a decade in the same tiny office. Could be as high as 50% over a few years. - High degree of tokenism - Employees often 'disappear' and become not employed (analyst - principle). The best way to better understand the firm and whether you might be a good fit is to ask FORMER employees.
