Pros

Great culture. Fun, smart people. Great work life balance. Some interesting strategy projects. Growth potential. Culture where junior employees can speak to senior partners openly. Ideas are listened too from all levels.

Cons

Poor base salary. Bonuses paid out in thirds over the year to make you stay through the entire year. Some projects are horrible (change sourcing, staff aug, implementation, testing) promotions only happen because of tenure. Meritocracy is talked up but not practiced.

Pros

- Career Growth: Leadership has set clear expectations and a path to grow and succeed at the firm; any new joiner will understand their annual goals very clearly - Meritocracy: If you have what it takes, you will get ample of opportunities to grow at the firm across multiple accounts regardless of your level or location; there are several people who have grown from Associate to Principal Consultant in 5-7 years of time (comparable to Big 4) - Strong Partner Community: Most Partners at the firm have a proven track record of sales and revenue growth; most are highly invested in talent development and have an open door policy - Global Opportunities: Although global projects are rare, the firm encourages people to enroll in the GROW program that allows one to relocate to a different country for 1-2 years - Competitive Compensation: The compensation is very competitive for high performers; in a good year, the bonus structure is pretty good as well

Cons

- Inconsistent talent: Hired poorly in the past 2-3 years with certain people who do not have basic skill sets at their individual levels, which sometimes leads to staffing and delivery issues - Poor Back Office Support: As the company grew over 400% since 2010, it led to inconsistencies in support staff like IT and Finance; nothing that you can't handle but it's still a pain point compared to the larger firms

Pros

It is a gap filer on resume. Exposure to client, which could mean you could get hired into a real company for real pay and decent vacation. They offer benefits and vacation days, but far below the average. It is a place to work while you wait for the economy to pick up.

Cons

Management is immature. Too many meetings about meetings and status reports about meetings. No trust of employees. Rude and sexist male employees in senior management levels (they insult each others size at the town hall and public meetings). Professional staff (with decades of work experience) are treated like entry level college graduates. One day after Engagement survey closes... the company announced no bonus for 2016! On many occasions I have heard the client complain (multiple projects) about the quality of the junior level resources. None of the password systems talk to each other. Nearly every email about password reset has significant errors.
