Great consulting company, but still a consulting company
Pros
Lots of opportunity for travel and direct engagement with clients. Competitive pay. Better work/life balance than many other financial consultancies, although the bonus structure incentivizes long hours. Generally positive work environment and laid back office culture. Strong opportunities for advancement, with promotions occurring once or twice a year for employees who perform well and meet or exceed expectations.
Cons
Work can be repetitive, many many hours spent in Microsoft Excel. Hours can be long, though this largely depends on the individual; expect a 45-50 hour work week on average with opportunity to work a little less or much more depending on personal work/life style. Overall, consulting isn't for everyone, but Raftelis is about as good as it gets.
