Pros

Competitive pay and benefits. The organization is working its way up to compete with the Big 4 but still has ways to go. Modern offices with well equipped conference rooms and technology.

Cons

To lead a team it always starts at the top with the senior management. With the right leadership in place, it will give all the direct reports the wings to elevate up high in their career. Some practices may be better than other, and some practices could hurt your career if you don’t have the same mindset as the management. Lots of micromanagement, lack of proper training on real business cases, un utilization, and lack of work balance. The company really has the potential of attracting talents, but falling into a black hole with the wrong senior management could have a major impact on your career progressing forward. With all due respect, but some people in the consulting business are fake. It’s just a word out to sell the work.
