Business Outlook

Pros

We are constantly surrounded by smart, down-to-earth people (the latter sometimes hard to find in management consulting). The firm invests in its people, and the skills being developed by consulting staff allow for us to stay competitive against Tier 1, and allow for our staff to find the best exit opportunities

Cons

Some feedback from lower levels to management lost in translation...tough decisions always have to be made, but sometimes it feels like they disproportionately affect the bottom rungs of the ladder
