Pros

- Smart, down-to-earth co-workers and a culture that fosters collaboration - Flat organizational structure with (mostly) approachable leadership - Local model minimizes or eliminates air travel, unless part of a national practice - Lots of latitude to grow your career in a way you see fit (as long as it fits within a practice) - Decent salary, especially for the size of the firm and the type of work - Very good technology consulting practices (especially Microsoft)

Cons

- Expensive (but improving) benefits; slowly accruing PTO - Lack of strategic, challenging big-picture roles in favor of staff-aug and basic PM/BA assignments (as many others have alluded to) - Lack of an effective brand name (and good projects) in the management/business consulting arena - Increasingly high turnover is stripping many of the firm's most talented players - Growing trend towards hiring college grads/younger consultants keeps the culture fresh, but is infusing it with more politics and jockeying for recognition

Pros

Great culture and management listens to employees. Some fantastic co-workers. Have to be a go-getter and self-starter. As they have a mix of Management Consultants and Technical Consultants there is a lot of variety in the projects they get called in for.

Cons

Still a lot of staff augmentation type work. Benefits still on the leaner side. Improving though.

Pros

Ambitious company growing at an incredible pace Great people excited to be here Strong focus on culture in hiring Still relatively new company so great opportunity for influence as to how things are done Ownership opportunities for those who have been with a company a long time

Cons

Company is growing so quickly that the "culture" is unsustainable Deference to culture fit precludes a lot of talented candidates who could advance the company in other ways A lot of reinventing the wheel
