Pros

1) Very smart, personable, and down-to-earth colleagues 2) Opportunity to work on varied types of engagements/clients 3) High profile clients 4) Opportunity to take on responsibility and do meaningful work from early on in career - not too much in the way of "busy" work in my experience so far. 5) Good place to develop sought-after technical skills. 6) Large firm resources with a boutique firm feel. 7) Compensation is fair, good benefits.

Cons

1) Lack of consistency in Consultant experience by practice, region, and even at an individual level. 2) Easy to get pigeonholed into working on the same client/engagement indefinitely. 3) C-suite does not engage with lower level employees (;interested to see how this plays out after the upcoming change in management). Still seen as an "old boys' club". 4) Slew of acquisitions resulted in lack of a unified culture and ambivalence as to where FTI fits into the market - broad and sometimes uncoordinated array of service offerings. 5) High turnover rate among the most talented lower-level staff. 6) Promotions/raises/bonuses are not adequately merit-based.

Pros

* Strong brand recognition and an impressive roster of clients and projects. * Opportunity to work with talented colleagues across multiple business segments. * Exposure to a fast-paced environment that provides significant professional growth and learning opportunities.

Cons

* Lack of consistent leadership visibility and clear strategic direction across parts of the organization. * Communication from senior leadership can be limited, leaving employees without a clear understanding of priorities and long-term goals. * Decision-making often feels reactive rather than proactive. * Accountability and partnership are inconsistent across teams and business segments. * Employees may not always feel adequately supported when raising concerns or navigating challenging situations. * Leadership teams are often stretched thin, which can impact coaching, communication, and overall employee support. * Performance evaluation and promotion processes can lack transparency, making it difficult to understand how decisions are made. * Employee experiences can vary significantly depending on team, manager, and business segment. * Opportunities for feedback exist, but employees do not always see meaningful action taken in response to recurring concerns. * Collaboration and cross-functional alignment can be challenging at times due to differing priorities and expectations.
