Pros
They work us hard but compensate well. Lunch brought in 3/week. Ping pong, game room, snacks and drinks provided. Growing company.
Cons
May get worked until you say uncle. But are understanding when you do. Workday practice is always changing so a constant flux of new ways of implementing and things TO implement. Makes it a bit chaotic.

Pros
Great career development opportunity for young consultants who want to develop solid analytical, project management, and industry subject matter expertise.
Cons
Pay opportunities are limited at more junior levels of the organization, though this does equalize over time. New York leadership are not too in touch with local market needs.
Advice to Management
West coast leadership is fantastic and they should keep doing what they do best. Be cognizant and understanding of the strong labor market - address this issue directly with young consultants instead of waiting for it to be brought up.
