Business Outlook

Pros

The promotion process and quality of people were inconsistent. There were great people and not so great people. And the compensation did not directly refelct whether they were great or not. The company has changed course a few times from riding the SOX bandwagon, to getting thrown off the wagon and having to reinvent itself.

Cons

There are some great people to work for and interesting proejcts. You just need to find the great people while avoiding the mediocre. Very good at publishing thought leadership and providing training throughout your career.

Pros

Great work life balance, career progression available for those who work hard, corporate culture is outstanding due to the quality of people recruited

Cons

Recession can lead to somewhat poor compensation (as it does in many industries); there is an up-or-out mentality as there is with any consulting firm
