Pros

culture is great, partners are very friendly, consultants are smart, and work is intellectually challenging. Global mobility is offered to consultants

Cons

brand name is weak outside F S and company is fairly young hence senior leadership is not as experienced with grey hair as you would want

Business Outlook

Pros

- Challenging and intellectually stimulating case work - Work with top flight talent from all over the world - International casework experience very common - Meritocratic career review and promotion system

Cons

- Quality of work/life balance varies greatly from one case / partner to the next; sometimes it's great, other times, you can't wait for the case to be over - Difficult (though not impossible) to join and progress midway through career progression model; most successful partners are either direct hires or promoted up through the ranks from analyst

Great financial services specialist

Consultant

Business Outlook

Pros

Best place to start if you want to specialise in Financial Services immediately. You get the chance to work on sometimes very high-level engagements for corporates or public institutions in this sector. Great travel as assignments are staffed on a global level. Incredibly clever people with an output orientation - working long hours is not manadatory or even wanted.

Cons

Travel can have very tough impact on your social life - hard to maintain relationships when you are on cases far away from home. Projects can sometimes become very challenging from a political point of view (that is, within the teams).
