Pros

Great colleagues and great culture. Smart people who are still down to earth. Casual dress code - people roaming around in jeans and T shirts for the most part. Flat organizational structure with everyone (including partners) wearing every hat as needed. Everyone is respectful of each other regardless of tenure & position. No up or out policy really. Very reasonable hours by consulting standards with 50-55 hour weeks being the norm. Very little travel required - great for those with families & a hatred of hotel beds!

Cons

A bit miserly with the bonuses and pay increases though starting package is decent. Project types may get repetitive if active effort not placed to gain a diversity of experience. Firm is going through some growing pains as it is expanding rapidly.

Pros

Strong culture and collaborative environment with smart, supportive colleagues. Admins are trusted partners and get exposure to senior leadership, which provides great learning opportunities. Compensation and benefits are competitive compared to similar roles.

Cons

Workload can be high, with admins often supporting multiple stakeholders while also providing backup coverage. Expectations can vary widely depending on the team, which can create inconsistency and pressure. Career growth paths are less structured and require a lot of self-direction. Work-life balance can be challenging at times, especially across time zones.
