Pros

The Lab is filled with very smart, highly collaborative and driven people. Their client base in financial services is second to none, and management does an excellent job of marketing to top tier firms. As a result, the engagements are challenging and interesting. The office in NY has so much local business that you will never be sent to the middle of nowhere traveling 4 days out of 5, which is an issue for me with large consulting firms; though you can be asked to travel. Great benefits as well. The view from the 50th floor overlooking Central Park is incredible when you are in the office.

Cons

The culture of the NY office is generally anti-work from home, though they will make arrangements with individuals who need that for some reason.

Pros

You will work with very smart people who know their craft well. There isn't a whole lot of BS. If you are a mature professional and have an understanding of how large financial organizations work (very slowly), you would be just fine. Work life balance is pretty good outside of rare instances.

Cons

No real focus on career growth. If you happen to be in the New York office and have a relationship with senior managers, you are trusted and given opportunities. Everyone else is in the same "resource" pool and used interchangeably across projects. Terrible HR practices (they exist to be a stick over employees' heads, not really focused on development of resources)
