Pros

Great place to start your career if you are fortunate to have a good understanding manager. Great Projects and hence alot of work and many clients which is good experience. Good amounts of training.

Cons

1. Poor salaries. Often they underpay their employees whereas the MDs mints a lot of money. 2. Work life balance is completely ruined. They expect you to work on a 24 * 7 basis and pay you peanuts for the same. They expect you to work on holidays and as well after working hours. 3. They have a screwed up set of HR team who don't know what they are doing or why they exist 4. Some level of the management treats employees as dogs. 5. They expect you to complete all projects 2 weeks before time in order to increase their profitability. However the same is NEVER reflected in bonus and appraisals

Pros

Work life balance is great; approximately 45 hours on average. This is exceptional compared to the big consulting firms or public accounting. Part of your bonus is based on your billable hours. The more you work, the bigger your bonus us. Due to its size, the firm still has a personal touch. Management shows genuine interest in you and is open to feedback. CEO and SVPs attend training sessions and make an effort to get to know you. Recruiting does a great job in hiring the right people. There's no one in my office I wouldn't grab lunch with or a beer after work.4 weeks of vacation which increases based on time with the company.

Cons

Although it is a consulting firm, most of the work I've been doing is very much centered around internal audits and SOX 404 compliance. Only few "real" consulting projects where you can actually add value to the client but I know this is based on the region you're working in. Benefits are okay but not great. I expected a better benefits package especially after management decided to revamp benefits and provide more options. 401(k) matching is only average and price of health care is still too high compared to top firms in the industry.
