      The best people to work with! Everyone is so smart! Great resources available and unbelievable perks. Inclusive work space.

      Cons

      Base salary should be more comparable to BCG and McKinsey if the firm wants to really be #1. Hours can be long but not too bad relatively. Try to get more cases across different verticals.
