      Pros

      Factors mean different things for different people, so take my input with that in mind. For me, I really needed a company that cared about my well-being and showed that in tangible ways. West Monroe has great PTO options. They respect when you need to take a day. The people are so kind, they care about you as a full person, with a life outside of work. ERGs are great and folks are actively working to better the culture of diversity and inclusion in all areas. Coffee culture is great, you could talk to really high up leadership. People make time for you regardless of seniority.

      Cons

      Honestly for me there are no cons. The lower (not even sure if it's lower) salary than the big four, let's say, means nothing to me because of the West Monroe culture. An extra 10k a year doesn't mean **** if I'm depressed and run down and have no time for myself.

      Pros

      Strong youthful culture that promotes blending your personal and work lives

      Cons

      Company could be more transparent with promotion policies. A past Sr Manager fabricated a scenario to get a direct report promoted. Several consultants verified these statements were not true but in the end it was about politics not the truth. There is a lot of emphasis on "going out" and drinking with your peers. If you don't participate enough, you are deemed out of the circle. You will be working on primarily small/mid sized clients in your industry vertical lacking exposure to larger clients. Nepotism is rampant

      At some point, it should be about more than just who is fun to drink with

      Pros

      If you're right out of college, this is a great resume builder in consulting for a year or two. Your ego will love all the talk about how you're changing the world's best businesses - though if you are honest with yourself, the world's best businesses aren't going to look to a 23 year old for much strategic advice on anything significant. It's also a great place to continue the frat house antics and enjoy the boozy chauvinist camaraderie you didn't quite get enough of in school. Our leaders are still reliving their glory days as the big man on campus. "Four o'clock rocks" aka "beer and hot wings Friday" is a great place to lobby them for the role as social chair you wish you had at school. You'll make more money in your first year than most of your college friends did at graduation - but this company is cheap. Five years from now, you'll be way behind your industry peers.

      Cons

      The culture is more like a cult of personality surrounding the CEO. As other reviewers have pointed out, there is a clear old boys club in charge. At manager, director and above, you'll see lots of good people pushed out the door in a very short order because they just didn't "fit in" with the cool Andersen clique. Management really is a revolving door. For all the talk about development goals and use of Halogen, your true performance review is based on the opinions of a sycophantic few.
