Pros

Very good level of work/life balance. Outside training sometimes difficult to get approved, but often open to motivated employees. Employees are given freedom to run and participate on almost all levels of engagements. High visibility available to junior level employees with c-suite level management clients.

Cons

Poor review process with results not taken into consideration for promotions/raises. Feedback difficult to receive from management and rarely given. Model of tracking utilization and performance does not reward or give credit for business development or training of others. Thus, a lot of the engagement work recycles dated material. Fair amount of 'dead weight' on engagement teams with a few 'heavy lifters' while others just push papers around.

Pros

Great pay, benefits package, and time-off. Great training for entry-level recruits. Great opportunity for travel. Easy transition into different departments within the firm. Lots of optional training provided.

Cons

Extremely competitive amongst peers and even superiors which creates an "in crowd" environment. Work distributed based on favoritism and hard to be chosen for client projects if you are not a favorite (bonuses given based on client hours). Be careful not to step on toes and loyalty is relative to the situation.

Pros

Lots of smart people work at this firm, however the environment is not overly competitive and as cut throat as competitors. Bottom heavy, so a great place to interact with other young analysts, and it's a young company in general.

Cons

Working in any practice other than Health Care and Education Consulting. The company continues to focus on HEC, especially after the ousting of former CEO, new CEO is a former MD in HEC; don't be surprised if this is the firm's continued direction. Practices such as Financial Consulting are going to disappear unless careful attention is given to them to keep them growing.
