      Bad team culture, office politics, and lack of growth potential

      Senior associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Exposure to top level management on engagements Good exit opportunities

      Cons

      Lowest compensation out of the big 4 and other leading consulting firms. Not the smartest leadership, just 'experienced' at their jobs by doing it again and again and again Cut throat culture in the New York office - mid management level is not very competent. When you join the firm, the orientation process is very poor and you are not very well integrated into the team.

      Definitely not the IFS you used to know!

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - A huge positive change from the way IFS used to be only a couple years ago; the future never looked brighter! - Big opportunities for those willing to put in the dedicated hours - Lots of promotion and advancement opportunities - Great co workers that are willing to help out other like-minded team players - Leadership has the perfect balance of big picture strategy, sales and a real sense of family.

      Cons

      - Might be TOO fast paced for folks not used to working on projects with little legacy knowledge to fall back on - If you arent full invested in the mission, there is no place for you; thats just a fact (probably more of a pro than a con) - Pay needs to match the Advisory side of the business in order to continue to attract top talent from industries. - Lots of opportunities to WFH which really balances work/life

      Would not recommend for long term career goals

      Management consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      PwC is a good starting point if you have no idea what you want to do (aka straight out of college) , however , job experience varies greatly by team. The travel hotel points are nice.

      Cons

      1. You will probably be shipped to the middle of nowhere America and barely see your friends / family. Your health will deteriorate significantly. I started having hair loss as a female at 23 ( all hair thankfully grew back with my new job) and you will gain significant weight from the constant obligatory team dinners while you travel. There is zero privacy and you are forced to constantly hang out with coworkers. Good luck if someone annoys you. Also you will lose complete touch with your friends. And forget about glamorous travel places most places are not “fun” to be at. 2. The only smart people in this firm are associates and partners (in consulting) everyone in between spends their time filling out random project management timelines and pretending to do something important. 3. As a first year associate you have zero choice in what team you are placed. You may have a degree in computer science and want to work with tech firms but be stuck in bumble America working with some random insurance firm. Plus they try to convince you as a intern that mobility \ switching groups is possible but it is actually near impossible the first 3/5 years unless you’re super lucky. 4. Maybe I was unlucky with my team but it always seemed like no one cared about my actual career goals and you would just get stuck doing whatever is available. The HR system is also almost non existent. I would call with an HR problem and they would tell me that they don’t deal with such problems. 5. The review system is flawed and is solely based on how popular you are with your peers / coworkers. No one cares or pays attention to actual merit or performance.
