Pros

Best place to start if you want to specialise in Financial Services immediately. You get the chance to work on sometimes very high-level engagements for corporates or public institutions in this sector. Great travel as assignments are staffed on a global level. Incredibly clever people with an output orientation - working long hours is not manadatory or even wanted.

Cons

Travel can have very tough impact on your social life - hard to maintain relationships when you are on cases far away from home. Projects can sometimes become very challenging from a political point of view (that is, within the teams).

Pros

Good culture, solid pay, good benefits

Cons

Same as with most big companies. HR a little too focused on DEI and feel good inclusion initiatives over things that matter to most employees and clients. Top management messaging is generic and seems forced. But all senior leadership seem fairly genuine and good people vs. hyper focused on dollars alone.
