Pros

Culture was a focus, after hours meet ups, loose open office space. They really tried hard in Chicago to look the part of a big player in Management consulting,

Cons

Mostly staffing work. Not much actual consulting. Benefits package was weak, seems like they keep saying it will be addressed, but I am still seeing the complaints. The Firm seems to want to be a "cool" place to work with mandatory quarterly dinners and what not. How that equates to a good work life balance is beyond me. Lots of after work drinking parties. It seems like they want to be like the consultants on the show "House of Lies" but are forcing the issue

Pros

people are very kind and its a great network to then have for life

Cons

I had 5 managers in 4 years, 3 of which promised me a promotion which I never got I was strung along in a seperate global team for a year and a half and then when I finally was moved to that group they fired 80% of us it's now an up or out company and people are leaving faster than business is coming in, that's been happening for 2 yrs my mental health was so bad i had two burnouts in a single year my last manager emotionally abused me and made me feel like i was a terrible person. I left believing that was why I was fired until i chatted with another former employee of this manager work life balance WAS a thing and in the last two years it's now that consultants are also responsible for selling, travel is a non-negotiable but expectations for travel are not transparent and can impact your yearly review, straight up not enough work and then senior management will make you feel bad for it
