Pros

Speaking to my personal experience with Propeller: Leadership communication and transparency Expect and deliver high quality client engagements - some individual and some team-based, with leadership or peer support available and encouraged to work through challenges Very strong values and culture - everyone fits in, everyone can have a say if they want to contribute Proving why reputation is great during these uncertain times - proactive and thoughtful decisions made quickly to ensure employee and clients both are put in the best position possible. This has resulted in maintaining headcount and even adding headcount at clients where I've seen other firms cut out completely. Leadership balances the both the human and business sides of work life and seem to care about employees' growth.

Cons

Not always great diversity of client projects - most are interesting and challenging in their own way, but not all will feel sexy (which is true of most day to day work anyway).The company is working to diversify types of client engagements, but this will likely be an uphill battle until the economy recovers further.

Pros

Working for Propeller can be extremely rewarding, in that: a) the firm maintains a diverse portfolio of clients across industries with challenging business needs, and b) you get to work with whip-smart, interesting (and different!) people, and build your network through fun and engaging work - which can be either client-facing or internal. There can't be many better places to get exposed to new industries, new methodologies, and develop your skill set.

Cons

Work at Propeller grants consultants a high degree of autonomy, and at times you can feel like you're on an island tackling a complex problem. Also, this hasn't been my experience, but I've talked with colleagues who have found themselves in a "dull" engagement where consultant-level expertise may not have been needed. But this seems to be the exception, not the norm.
