Pros

Other consultant/senior/manager level people are great to work with Lots of company sponsored social events (in Chicago office, not as much elsewhere) Drinking culture (pro or con based on your personal disposition...)

Cons

The project management level (Senior Managers/Directors) are mostly clueless on how do effectively run a project since most of them come from industry. In addition all the good lower level people leave before they hit that level so only people left are the less competent people who are nervous about getting fired and therefore not helpful in reaching down to the lower ranks and helping you progress.

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.
