Pros

The paycheck does not bounce

Cons

For the past several years we hear the firm is growing >10%, and new offices are opening. So why are support services staff and budgets squeezed so hard?

Pros

-You get to work with some great people. -Annual offsite meetings are fun

Cons

-No career advancement possible outside of your immediate team. All Global or regional roles are based out of Boston. -We keep hearing about the extraordinary growth of the company but continuously see cuts in budgets. -CSS staff are secondary citizens to this company. -Pay is sub market rate. Every year you hear about how they analyze the market rate and how we are paid what the market is showing. I strongly believe this is false because it's never adjusted. Any raise you get barely counters inflation. -When I first started the cell phone reimbursement was $100 and now it is half of that. Meanwhile they raised consultants reimbursement amount.

Pros

*less travel on average compared to other top consulting firms. Focus on travel only as needed. Get to spend a lot of time in the office with teammates and colleagues. *thought provoking work and generally great teams and clients *exit opportunities are great and if you just want a break, easy to take a sabbatical or transfer for a 6 month period to another office for a new experience

Cons

*Only a handful of non-white candidates end up getting offers and coming here. Hypocritical that even though "diversity" is mentioned all the time but when it comes down to the final decision, other ethnicities lose out at this office. Seen many less qualified individuals given opportunities over ethnic minorities. Yes, if you visit the office, there is no diversity.
