variety of experiences - some very good and some very bad

Senior consultant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You get exposure really quickly to a variety of projects and teams. Some senior teams/managing directors are really great and others are extremely painful. If you can get into a good team here then you can get promoted really quickly. The pay is generally good - better than big-4 but lower than other private consulting firms.

Cons

Some teams have extremely poor culture and very long work hours. The utilization bonuses are large but still make the bad teams not worth it.

Future prospects not good at Ringtail

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Feedback specific to Ringtail team at FTI. Solid established software with the best analytics and visualizations in the eDiscovery space. Many long time devoted knowledgeable people in delivery roles.

Cons

New leadership since 2017 does not have a strategy for the business other than chasing large, hard-to-get deals. New leadership of the Ringtail group at FTI has a Trumpian temperament, lacks self awareness and favors people he likes and knows over experience and talent. Senior leaders doing software demos and answering RFP responses rather than delegating so they can set a legitimate strategy. FTI Technology segment seems more committed and seeing more profitability in Relativity hosting. Unclear if they have a long term commitment to Ringtail or plan to divest.
