Pros
- If you ask, they will provide opportunities for you to grow and advance (if you ask). - If you communicate your interest, they do their best to staff you on projects/industries and locations you desire (if you communicate your wants and needs). - Promotion track is fast and realistic, you can move up almost every 2 years if you are a high performer. - Vacation planning is totally in your control if you plan far enough in advance (you can easily take a month off at a time if you desire). - Overall work-life balance is great, but is it up to you to manage it and raise your hand if work is becoming over burdensome. Individuals who say their is no work life-balance are simply not communicating their needs.
Cons
- Compensation is some what below Big 4 and similar to mid-tier firms (I obtained the same salary offers from mid-tier firms).
