      Good company, but reminds me of a frat club culture

      Pros

      Great company, excellent pay/benefits and professional development.

      Cons

      Frat club type of culture. . I loved the work but there has to be some sort of schmoozing for you to get ahead. Managers will put consultants on jobs with no experience just to ensure they stay billable. Not a good look for clients or helpful for the consultant. Very social company where many had alcohol available. Not a big drinker but if you are, you will love the social aspect of it. I would never go back but could be that dream job for the right person.

      Pros

      As a career consultant this is the first company I've worked at where I can see, feel, and know that everything I do (i) impacts my clients, (ii) impacts my company & practice, and (iii) allows me to truly own my career.

      Cons

      There is a healthy tension that exists between "local market direction" and "national structure/strategy". This can result in different markets pursuing the achievement of larger strategy in different ways. For people who want a highly structured environment - this creates a bit of uncertainty.

      Best place I have ever worked

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Care for the client and care for the consultant are constantly being balanced in a way that no one feels 2nd place.

      Cons

      Benefits are consistent with smaller firms, which can be a difficult transition from Big 4 type PTO, healthcare, 401k, healthcare, etc.
