Pros
My comments are all about the consulting business. Good training for junior staff. Good work life balance.
Cons
Pay not great compared with similar companies. Also once you progress in your career the job is now more focused on sales than technical expertise - big change from the past. Many senior people at this company are no longer technical experts but instead have good sales skills. This changed when company was acquired by publicly traded Watson Wyatt - makes sense, need to show top line sales growth to investors. All the company cares about now is growing revenue - used to be focused on quality when it was Towers Perrin, not anymore. Many skilled consultants left for other firms. I hear it's even worse now that they've been acquired by Willis. All they care about is hitting sales quota - like any selling culture - not a good model for a consulting firm. Makes sense for an insurane broher though.
