Pros

Some good people who want to do the right thing

Cons

Too many to list, but much of negative reviews are true. Many former FTI don’t know what they are doing, especially on the operations side. Experience depends on what group you are in. Most managers have no true management experience. Extremely cliquey. If an SMD, you won’t be held accountable AT ALL; everyone else, treatment depends on if you want to brown nose constantly and what demographic you are in. Example, if you're an md who contributes next to nothing each week, and not being asked to join major projects, then monopolize conversations by talking about yourself and who you know because that's all you can do. You’ll get promoted instantly. All other types, good luck.

Pros

The people here and those that choose to come, or friendly, collegial, and fun to work with. This is truly a learning environment. My colleagues have deep expertise and I learned every day. Oxygen to my brain.

Cons

The work and timelines can be intense - but sometimes that's the nature of client service and the business we are in.

Pros

I happened to be on a good team with good managers who hire well. The whole team works well together, expectations are generally set to fit everyone well, and tasks are assigned as such. The work is also quite interesting most of the time and we get opportunities to explore new work streams.

Cons

Low visibility between stakeholders and normal employees, specifically the private equity that owns the firm. This makes it difficult to understand many of the top-down decisions made and makes the whole review/raise cycle extremely weird. Every year someone asks management why there is such a long delay between reviews and promotions/raises along with no transparency surrounding raise decisions.
