Great place to work - Knowledge Team has room to improve - but overall awesome place for intellectually curious people.
Pros
Working on really interesting projects with top notch clients Fast paced work, not too much BS and meetings Great leadership - Senior partners are top notch on professional and personal level
Cons
All-business all the time, hard to build relationships with people if they are not on your direct project Knowledge Team seemed to be a good place to have a comfortable job, limited opportunity for fast paced growth and promotion. Only possible to get a raise on Knowledge Team when up for promotion. Can be 4+ years at higher levels. Too long. Benefits are not competitive on support staff with other top firms. McKinsey, Bain are better. Most other small firms offer more vacation and 401k match as well. I worked most weekends - could have done better than 15 days - didn't feel like I had much time to re-charge. Had to use most vacation at christmas and thanksgiving like others.
