Some nice people, manipulative management and heavy travel

Manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some offices in California and Arizona have some really nice and smart people. Some of the clients and projects are fulfilling. There can be a good variety of projects, which is great. Projects can be fun and successful when you work with good engagement managing directors. The CEO seems genuine.

Cons

I am not fraternity/sorority person and do not live for my alma mater, so that is one strike out for me for a to culture fit. I have had a solid career for 10 years where this was never an issue and find the female human resources management to be more condescending to women than any man I have ever worked with, but very friendly to and favors the young male employees and executive management. Forced vacation at Christmas is a ridiculous way to treat employees who work their fingers to the bone year round and wait to take vacation with my kids and family during the summer.

It's good for your first year out of college

Consultant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work/life balance, first year starting pay (but NOT raises!), laid-back peeps, friendly culture.

Cons

basically just an audit firm. work is very routine and mind-numbing after your first few projects. This is not really a consulting firm as much as it is an outsourced internal audit and finance/accounting service firm.

Pros

- mostly good people, young & fun co-workers - travel opportunities, air miles/hotel points - constant change from one project to the next (although this is the nature of consulting) - no issues taking time off - good work/life balance (only if you are NOT traveling for a client project)

Cons

- compensation at lower levels is well below market, this is especially true for NYC (the company doesn't adjust compensation enough for cost of living) - experiences will vary greatly depending on what project you get placed on, you can get stuck on a crappy project which can last for months, sometimes years! - most project work is very boring, highly repetitive - when you are not on a project, you can't work from home....and when you are traveling, you must fly home on friday evenings, not thursdays....this can make it hard to have good work/life balance ifyou are traveling for work - very little motivation to do anything more than the bare minimum, promotions will not happen any earlier, bonuses are a joke - very very few miniorities in middle, upper-mgmt....none in senior mgmt - high performers will almost always leave for better compensation/opportunities, leaving a bunch of mediocre people at the top who just played the "waiting game" - experienced hires will get promoted faster and get paid better....the company does not reward loyalty unless you are part of the old arthur anderson crowd - no cell phones for non-mgmt, crappy benefits, 401k match is a joke - the company is struggling to get recover from crisis, therefore there are no perks, penny pinching galore
