Pros
Strong emphasis on personal development, Very open and honest environment, Senior level consultants and partners very accessible, Good work / life balance (with respect to consulting industry average) The work is very tangible and the impact on clients is visible True meritocracy The culture and approach to development and learning is also infectious. It’s a very high energy group of people who are great to be around. They’re driving towards team goals and are happy to share what they’re working on, their difficulties and their successes. I’ve seen the people I joined with move a million miles on some of the things they initially found difficult. Being around a talented group of people like this means you can’t hide the things you’re not good at. There is an expectation that you are always developing and moving towards where you want to be. This means you never end up stagnant or in a position where you feel you’re not progressing.
Cons
- Small and agile is great, but investing in (or even outsourcing) some of the more mundane basics of the business will pay back in the long term.
