Pros
- Friendly colleagues and senior management fairly approachable. - Strong expertise in certain verticals healthcare, energy etc. and a great opportunity to learn for junior level employees. - Good work/life balance options in terms of being abled to work flexible schedules - Reasonable compensation and benefits.
Cons
- Limited collaboration across practices and within certain practices because compensation structure for Ds and MDs is based more on achieving individual targets. - Challenging work environment at mid career stage where utilization targets are too aggressive which does not lend itself well to focusing efforts on business development initiatives that will get you to the next career stage. - Work in some verticals can get boring and junior staff at times may not have flexibility to develop skills beyond their sub practice areas.
