Pros

Happy hours on Friday afternoons; the firm is a social and generally young place to work. The hours are relatively easy.

Cons

No real exposure for junior consultants. The client list looks impressive but the work being done for the big clients is small/meaningless compared to what Bain/McKinsey are doing. Projects generally aren't for the C-Suite executives, but rather some project manager in Virginia who needs help on a new project.

Pros

Good culture, solid pay, good benefits

Cons

Same as with most big companies. HR a little too focused on DEI and feel good inclusion initiatives over things that matter to most employees and clients. Top management messaging is generic and seems forced. But all senior leadership seem fairly genuine and good people vs. hyper focused on dollars alone.
