Pros

Decent compensation. Flexibility for admin staff.

Cons

Firm spends minimal amount on name recognition, other marketing. Minimal admin support to BD and often untrained. Professional training for BD was second rate. Some partners treat you like property. Salary below what competitors pay. Difficult to sell when firm not producing cutting edge ideas to sell.

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.
