Pros

Access to meetings with C-level executives and some high profile situations

Cons

Compensation is half of the competition. Incredibly siloed culture where you can be busy for the year, but others in your class are sitting in their cubicle. At the end of the year compensation comes out of a "black box" and if the SMD you work for doesn't go to bat for you, then don't expect any difference in compensation from the prior year. FTI's strategy is to retain the SMDs above all else and let the "staff" underneath them cycle through as they get burned out and see opportunities for better compensation and work elsewhere.

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.
