Pros

Diverse range of consulting projects, across many different regions. Great exposure for consultants at all levels. Average work/life balance.

Cons

Poor leadership and lack of bd for consultants at all levels - part of the problem of being owned by private equity. There is little investment in its employees. Low pay compared to other firms, and absolutely no recognition of brand name. Firm culture is horrible, it seems as if everyone is using this as a stepping stone to another career.

Pros

Appreciated working with smart, driven colleagues; they were truly experts in their fields. The rigorous schedules we were on were strictly maintained, which usually made for a very organized structure and workload.

Cons

Leadership went through many changes and acquisitions while I was there. The mission seemed to keep changing, and it wasn't easy to maintain consistency in our reports with such leadership changes. Market analysts were often pulled onto consulting projects but were not paid as consultants. This is what pushed me to leave.
