Good start in ediscovery but don't stay too long

Consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You get to learn a lot of things and fast. Which can be challenging but it will develope your understanding of the field especially if this industry is new to you. Tons of opportunities to travel and see other people and engage with clients.

Cons

Management. It's more about how well you get along at a bar or pub rather than the work you put in. Very cliquey and management only care about their bonuses and promotions not your development.

Great place to work to get unique experience

Senior consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great work-life balance, majority of the management is very understanding of home needs, especially when you are traveling. You get just about the same consulting perks as anywhere else, but you don't have to cram yourself into the "allotted" per-diem that most firms have. This translates into a lot of nice meals ... the only problem is that you need to exercise to keep the weight off. Overall the work is great and the clients are fantastic. You tend get exposure to a wide variety of industries and in very unique situations. Most of the work is very detail oriented and you have to be able to back up your work product with actual facts. This is definitely not your out of the box solution consulting firm.

Cons

Travel can get tiring at times and the days can be long, but that's with most consulting firms. There is a slight disconnect between some of the individual practices within the firm that could be better put to use.
