Pros

Friendly people, excellent training and standards, wonderful IT department, great internal newsletter

Cons

This office runs rogue in terms of overall firm processes, making it a confusing and ineffective workplace. Planning takes a back seat to an "I need it NOW" mentality. There is not much transparency and employees aren't clear how they fit into the firm's goals or even what their job descriptions are.

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.
