Pros

Employee development for fair opportunity to progress

Cons

Can't think of any. Aside outsourcing different business units, which is not peculiar to this organization alone

If you intend to pursue a career in risk management, you MUST spend some time at this company,.

Pros

The people are the company's greatest asset, second only to diverstiy of services offered.

Cons

Very low pay and too many pointless midmanagers who are there only because they were there already in the late 90s, before the big expansion following September 11th and the Iraq occupation. Because of them, it's very difficult to progress or even get a pay rise.

Wonderful early career move, learned and did more than others under 28, horrible management of people over long-term

Pros

In short: for early career moves, i.e. people under 30, you will learn more and be exposed to more aspects of business -- the sides of business not seen by most until they are much more advanced in years -- in a shorter time than you would anywhere else. You will will learn and do more here than anywhere else in the economy. Exciting, even 'sexy' work. Broad and deep exposure to multiple client bases (financial services, Fortune 500, first tier law firms, etc). Best-in-class client service, product and service quality, and project management. Wonderful mentors in the practice of the trade.

Cons

Company full of best-in-class experts in their fields, but almost zero business-minded people. Company still run as a specialist firm, not quite an international multi-hundred million dollar business. Horrible development culture for lower- to mid-level employees. Business designed to benefit upper management and clients only; lower level staff ridden very hard until they leave for competitors or in-house at clients. Not competitive compensation. Uniquely unsupportive management culture. Top-down mentality stifles innovation. Even upper management in regions and business lines completely disenfranchised by headquarters.
