Pros

- There a few people at the management level who actually want to retain employees and make best efforts to retain employees - Flexible hours - Great culture

Cons

- Certain Risk and Compliance solution employees get promoted every year. There is little consideration for years of experience or individual potential. Promotions are a joke; only based on favoritism and not on performance. - Only Risk and Compliance practice members lead the high visibility initiatives and produce zero results. They leverage other people's work to go up the ladder. The Managers and Senior Managers in this solution are less knowledgeable and have less PM skills as compared to their peers in other solutions. - Projects are not very challenging and you may feel that you have been demoted 2 levels when you work on them. - There is no consideration for staffing on right projects and in often case it does not match your skill set at all. You can be staffed on these projects for months together as advisers only focus on keeping you chargeable.

Pros

Compared to other consulting firms, the flexibility in the management here has been amazing. In my experience, teams do whatever they can to get the job done but also acknowledge that we have lives outside of work and are accommodating to that.

Cons

Pay is not competitive compared to other consulting firms and leadership is not as innovative as they could be.
