Pros

Great colleagues with brilliance. Smart people in the lower ranks of consultants and associates that make this company tick

Cons

Bureaucracy of being part of MMC. Being part of a public company, limits upside at junior ranks as well for bonus. The management is very political. Partners are not as great (exception may be FS) and lot of hot air. No wonder the retention is low
