Pros

- Enjoyed my time at Rios, learned a lot - Great colleagues, fun to work with, supportive - Boutique consulting culture was mostly as advertised - More manageable hours than big firms most of the time - I'm surprised the reviews are so negative; my experience was largely positive

Cons

- Pay and especially bonuses are low (compared to other firms) - Hours and intensity were project- and partner-dependent; most of my projects were manageable, a few were easy, and several were nightmares - Promotion was very partner-dependent; some partners consistently got their people promoted and others didn't - Very top heavy -- too many partners given the size of the firm - Firings in winter 2023-2024 were handled poorly; rather than a round of layoffs, people were let go one by one with flimsy process and reasoning; demoralizing for those who left and hurt morale for everyone else
