Pros

- Strong expertise and tier 1 brand name in Financial Services - Flat hierarchy, people are great fun to hang out with, not just work with - Global staffing opportunities

Cons

- Transitioning from small to big firm - processes and infrastructure often in flux - Inconsistent culture between large hubs (strong community, more emphasis on work-life balance but more bureaucratic) and smaller offices (very entrepreneurial, but like the "wild west")

the firm allow even junior resource to take full onwership of workstreams and act to successfully challenge stretch opportunities. Sense of fun and un perceived hierarchy are definitivelly the biggest plus

Cons

differently from ads and market perception, firm is currently heavely reliant on the risk management practice (ie. consultans works as IT/ excel modeller rather than as proper consultants)
