Pros

more interested in staff than their competitors. quality of offices and what is made available to staff like fresh fruit daily, gym membership, location of office are all major pluses. Good people to work with and generally a friendly environment. The firm also has a decent pension scheme available to staff. Staff also dont have to work as many hours as are expected in a Big 4 environment.

Cons

complexity of work sometimes isnt there in comparison to Big 4. Overall pay is lower than big 4, but thats to be expected as partners earn substantially less than partners in big 4.

Pros

Consultants were not overworked, and people are generally staying in their own lane. Strong knowlegeable teammates and lots of internal resources to grow. Work life balance was good.

Cons

I left during a time of transition, since the top practice director retired and the EBA leader took over as interim leader. This interim guy seemed to be waiting for something to take any action with current resources, and he was not too interested in rallying or figuring things out as a team. If he had expectations, they were never communicated to me. The lack of clarity was very challenging for me personally, and it came off as a lack of support. I think others in the team probably feel similarly.
