Pros
- Career Growth: Leadership has set clear expectations and a path to grow and succeed at the firm; any new joiner will understand their annual goals very clearly - Meritocracy: If you have what it takes, you will get ample of opportunities to grow at the firm across multiple accounts regardless of your level or location; there are several people who have grown from Associate to Principal Consultant in 5-7 years of time (comparable to Big 4) - Strong Partner Community: Most Partners at the firm have a proven track record of sales and revenue growth; most are highly invested in talent development and have an open door policy - Global Opportunities: Although global projects are rare, the firm encourages people to enroll in the GROW program that allows one to relocate to a different country for 1-2 years - Competitive Compensation: The compensation is very competitive for high performers; in a good year, the bonus structure is pretty good as well
Cons
- Inconsistent talent: Hired poorly in the past 2-3 years with certain people who do not have basic skill sets at their individual levels, which sometimes leads to staffing and delivery issues - Poor Back Office Support: As the company grew over 400% since 2010, it led to inconsistencies in support staff like IT and Finance; nothing that you can't handle but it's still a pain point compared to the larger firms
