Pros
People for the most part are nice and easy-going. A lot of employees have 15+ years served or retire there (This is also a con for me). Hires out of college (it's easier to get a job when you have a job). Small firm so you can wear a lot of hats early on to find what you like. NY office is right in front of Penn Station so commuting is a breeze. Relatively big player in its niche client base. Overall: I highly recommend any new college grad who wants to put things down a resume to start here. The people are nice and often willing to teach you. If you're someone who wants to take it easy and retire here, then I think Segal is decent.
Cons
A lot of employees have 15+ years served or retire there - I felt it stifled innovation and the structure appeared very top-heavy to me. Many top performers with less than 10 years of experience that I have worked with have all been leaving. Based on my conversations with them, we felt Segal did NOT reward skill but rather tenure. Pay is not the most competitive compared to other consulting firms (a quick Glassdoor search will help confirm that). If you are a POC, it maybe hard to find mentors who share in your struggles and hardships. The diversity could be better (Check the leadership page on Segal's website to get an idea). From a technology perspective, I met very few people who were good at Excel, PowerPoint, or Access let alone the more sought after programs like SQL, R, or PowerBI. Client base is very niche which may make it harder to leave to a different job. Overall: I would be hesitant if you're a POC or if you are a hungry and dedicated worker. I have seen many of the smartest and hardest working people leave within a couple of years. For people like that, Segal may be a poor choice.
