Pros

Great down-to-earth managers and coworkers. One of only a few consulting companies where one can work across three very different groups - finance, business consulting, and litigation - and across a wide array of industries. The company also has a great policy of comp-time for analyst, which gives you vacation or over-time pay for every hour you work above 45 hours each week. And in general, the firm offers a great work/life balance for a consulting place. After a few years, most of the analysts get accepted to top MBA programs.

Cons

Not as well known and recognized as other consulting companies.
