Exceptional experience, solid foundation for career growth
Pros
In the TAS practice, you are continually exposed to new businesses, clients, and sectors. This translates into tremendous learning and growth opportunity in short periods of time. Generally, teams are smart, efficient and supportive. Senior partners are transparent and accessible. Solid opportunity for advancement and growth for strong performers. Career opportunities post-TAS are strong.
Cons
Personal experiences largely dependent on how projects are staffed and the partners you work for. A lack of technical training for new/experienced hires, however project nature results in ability to quickly get up to speed. Most importantly, a career in TAS lacks any semblance of balance. M&A is inherently demanding, and so are clients. Be prepared to cancel dinner plans, work unexpected late nights, or work a month straight on a difficult project.
