Pros

Leadership's ability to spin anything and everything to make employees believe their story!

Cons

Each partner considers him/her to be a divine gift to mankind and therefor can never be incorrect. What they say should be accepted and not challenged. Most of the time, the team members are indirectly advised to fall in line with the partner's decision. Strategy and Operations/ OTS and sub-practices within are all teams that will over promise and under deliver. Internal talent is never recognized but instead imported from outside as experienced hires. Each partner control their team as a kingdom and if someone asks to try different teams, the partner takes it personally. By the way, this directly contradicts what the overall leader would otherwise communicate through their forums, thereby leaving everyone confused. Performance management systems are never looked into. Decisions are made based on partner's likes and dislikes of a person. If a partner likes someone, even if he/she is a dud, you can see that person growing fast. When one is given a promotion or a decent bonus, the partner will come to take credit for how they fought hard to get it instead of attributing it to the recipient hard work. Have come across several new hires regretting their decision to join the team. Self-respecting individuals should keep away from this firm. don't get carried away by the big 4 brand name. you will regret joining this firm. If you have better options, don't join. If you are finding the going tough in your current firm, just put up with it till you find a better opportunity.

Pros

Great growth opportunities within your industry. Some super nice teams that become like family

Cons

- Not a firm for those over 40. - Anyone who joins as an "experienced hire" in either the manager or sr. manager rank, has the odds heavily stacked against them. - Work life balance was a joke. - D&I work is taken seriously at the highest levels but if you look at the landscape of the firm, especially the leadership ranks, it's pretty much pale, male and stale (this has been changing but I don't think you'll see true diversity for another 10 - 15 years).
