Pros

-If you are highly utilized you will make decent money -Staff is young and generally has a fun time outside of work -Good exposure to financial due diligence (FDD) work

Cons

-If you are not highly billable, you can expect to make about half your compensation (salary and hourly model to comp.). Also the burden is on the employee instead of the firm. -The Business Advisory Services practice (BAS) is supposed to be the management consulting practice. There is no real consulting work and most BAS practitioners get staffed on transaction or financial advisory accounting /diligence work. The firm believes it does operational-type consulting but it doesn't. All of the practitioners with Top Tier or Big 4 strategy or operational consulting experience left. -Mangement / Leadership is not transparent -Firm spends a lot of money on lavish events instead of things like training or development -Subpar benefits -Unclear what the value proposition is except "we're cheap" -Quick to fire (no, I was not fired)...firm recently fired about 10% of its workforce

Pros

Decent swag and they have education stipends. Allows remote work which was very appreciated.

Cons

Too political and heavy on finger-pointing rather than collaboration. Blame often falls on inexperienced staff for issues beyond their control, while "who you know" (especially in the Texas office) dictates accountability. Additionally, the US team’s subconscious bias toward the India team creates a counterproductive and unwelcome environment. It ultimately feels like a fend-for-yourself environment. When performance is evaluated, support is limited unless you’ve already proven you can meet management’s demanding, often unrealistic, expectations. This makes it especially difficult for early-career professionals to learn and grow. The focus tends to be more on maximizing billable hours than on development or quality of work. In some cases, there has even been pressure from multiple managers to inflate timesheet entries to improve the appearance of performance and increase client billing, despite work being completed efficiently. These expectations were consistently communicated verbally rather than documented, raising serious ethical concerns and making the situation even more discouraging.
