Pros

Some interesting projects although most are standard engagements Many smart, friendly people with diverse backgrounds Global exposure Pricing and healthcare expertise

Cons

Below market salary with broken incentive structure Consistently poor work-life balance in many teams/clusters due to partner tendencies, constant turnover, inability to recruit, and lack of investment in support systems/ people Moral often very low. Managing partner emailed all consultants to request higher rating on Vault survey due to the known issues.... SKP’s ranking still fell
