Incredible firm; depends on your job

Pros

The firm takes care of its employees. The healthcare benefits were fantastic and salaries were competitive - and the firm-wide anniversary celebrations are great. The people are very driven and are very smart.

Cons

There is limited upward mobility, and depending on your job, you may feel less valued than others. The consultants create revenue and truly drive the direction of the firm. The 'back office' or 'admin' roles (HR, Accounting, Audit, Billing) do not, and this can create some tension between the two at times.

Pros

Get to know and work with all sorts of management, learn from the very best that the industry has to offer. They hold constant training's for you to learn from and develop yourself and your skill set, not necessarily new hire training, but training's to broaden your consulting skill set. New CEO is great and really wants to develop the firm into one of the best firms in the world.

Cons

Management tends to be a black box, not a lot of transparency, in terms of staffing. Joined out of B School, and the learning curve is very steep and long but you are expected to be ready to go on day one. Constant anxiety and stress. Pulled into firm with no formal training and expected to perform to peak expectations. This is improving though as they have started implementing new initiatives for new hires. MDs tend to be very unforgiving, if you mess up on a project they tend to turn their backs on you and you are left struggling for staffing.

Process still not mature

Pros

Entrepreneurial culture. Smaller teams and direct interaction with senior leadership. It is a fast growing firm which needs younger people.

Cons

Lack of formal training and onboarding at the mid management level. Roles and responsibility not clearly defined. Hence better business processes need to be in place. There is a lack of interest and investment in the development of an individual's career path or aligning them with their strengths.
