Pros
Well-known name in the consulting and expert network space — looks good on a resume. Young, energetic peers; social atmosphere and happy hours are common. Fast-paced environment that teaches you how to juggle multiple competing priorities under pressure
Cons
Extremely high turnover, especially among junior staff. Burnout is real. Promotions are slow and often political — management tends to favor favorites. Despite being a “client-first” business, internal processes are dated and inefficient. Lack of transparency around career pathing, development, or long-term value. Work often feels transactional and repetitive — very little strategic thinking or skill development after your first 6 months. Compensation does not reflect workload or hours, especially when compared to peer firms.
