Pros

- Most of the people here are very smart and hard working - Pay is solid and on par with industry

Cons

- Senior leaders are very narrow minded and will not allow people below them any flexibility to try new initiatives - Bonus is driven way too much on utilization, which provides no incentive to do good work and only bill hours - Don't do anything to retain talented employees, a lot of which leave within 1-2 years of joining the firm - No integration of culture from the plethora of acquisitions over the last 5 years - No strategic vision or leadership from practice leaders or senior management - increasing bill rates and hiring more people is not a sustainable growth strategy. Also no transparency or communication from same leaders.

Pros

As a member of the Strategic Communications practice, I got to interact with and advise the executive leadership of public companies, which was a phenomenal experience. I learned a lot about what motivates corporate decisions, and the advantages/drawbacks/pitfalls of being a CEO. I also learned the value of good communication in any business.

Cons

The company is very large and operates like most large companies. You have to create your own path, there's very little in the way of mentorship or career development in FTI. I was a high-performing employee on the radar's of most managers, and it didn't make a difference. It was frustrating to be surrounded by so many talented individuals and not be able to learn as much from them as they wanted. Also, the pace of change within the organization was glacial.
