Pros

Good work-life balance compared with other consulting firms (10 hours of work a day + 30% of travel required. Talent with deep understanding and knowledge of compliance in FS

Cons

Projects are closer to auditing than consulting in most cases. The company is a top reference fr compliance so if you have no interest in compliance, this might not be your company.

Pros

I work directly with excellent people. My immediate colleagues are collaborative, capable, and committed to doing high-quality work for clients.

Cons

The biggest challenges tend to come from the corporate side of the organization. Corporate processes and communication can sometimes feel disconnected from the needs of project teams, which creates unnecessary friction. In addition, benefits that were once stronger, including 401(k) matching and medical coverage, have been significantly reduced. A recent example is the increased emphasis on “utilization rates” in merit increases. While utilization is understandable in a consulting environment, tying it too heavily to merit can effectively penalize employees for using earned vacation time and can make PTO feel less like a real benefit.
