Pros

I went from Big 4 to FTI and there are definite benefits to a smaller, more analytical firm. The work we're doing is more rigorous and I'm more confident in it and you have better access to senior leadership. Pretty much everyone here Senior Director and below has been great - personable, not overly competitive, smart, and hard-working. Leaders have been engaged and respectful on projects and have taken an active interest in getting to know and developing junior team members. FTI has much more of a team mentality than other firms I've been exposed to.

Cons

It's consulting - long hours and poor work-life balance with the expectation that you pay your dues and are always available to work. Slow adoption of technology that would make the job easier. Fewer perks than you'd see at a big firm (e.g., travel discounts, wellness funds). Definitely has some work to do on D&I, culturally.

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.
