Access to C-Suite

Pros

Client work is usually working directly with C-suite individuals and 1 level down. Can be interesting work to help clients and the "when it really matters" is a real theme with clients as they're often in distress or in need of significant transformation.

Cons

Claim to be a meritocracy, though still very heirarchical. Slower to promote in technology than other practices. Considering it is a small practice the culture isn't as close as it should be.

Pros

Good pay for what they are asking hires todo.

Cons

- Senior management appears to be disconnected from the latest advancements in the consulting sector. They continue to rely on technology and methodologies reminiscent of those used at the beginning of my consulting career. - Surprisingly, the company lacks a comprehensive CRM system. So, sales is a disconnected process across business functions. - The approach to knowledge management is subpar. Without a proper archival system, knowledge sharing is inefficiently handled through email, which is far from ideal. - As for marketing, the strategy seems limited to writing and publishing blog posts on LinkedIn. A visit to the blog reveals a lack of insightful or thought-provoking content. It adheres to an outdated marketing approach focused solely on blog post promotion, a strategy that has not evolved in the past two decades.

Challenging and Meaningful Work

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Working with the best and brightest in consulting, Great pay, bonus and benefits and the Value Accumulation Plan has meaningful returns and provides a great incentive to stick with the Firm. Consultants 100% control their own destiny with respect to promotions and increased responsibilities. Coaching for success is the best I have ever been a part of in my >30 year career.

Cons

No doubt, this will be the most demanding work in your career. Occasional late nights and a few no sleep nights (<2-4 hours) are not uncommon and expected. Hi value projects, tight timelines, short staffing, and a never fail the client or a team member mentality can lead to significant physical and mental stress.
