Pros
Exceptional place to learn and grow. Each day brings the excitement of working at a start-up with the reach and resources of working for a well-respected global brand. Strong relationships and unique expertise in the talent management industry--most team members I work with have been here for 10 - 40 years. Leadership treats us like family, values everyone's opinions, and encourages us to innovate and stretch ourselves.
Cons
Management consulting is hard work and requires you to development expertise that takes a lot of studying and experience. We advise the biggest companies in the world on technical matters that require experienced change management. Most young consultants don't realize the technical expertise it requires or how much work big, long-cycle projects actually take. Given those industry requirements, I can't imagine a consulting firm more committed to offering flexibility, well-being perks, and a focus on work-life integration.
