Pros
Pay is good albeit below industry standard. Heavy bonus weighting, but don't expect to receive it consistently..
Cons
This firm's reputation is not good for the resume. It will not open doors for you in terms of your next career stage. - not as advertised! - Egotistical leader who regularly harasses employees - Leaders struggle to sell work, primarily land low tier engagements with tier 3 brands, or private equity research - inexperienced staff - even the partners have limited actual industry experience, relying on short stints at Bain (not at senior levels..) to justify their 'expertise'. Be wary of a firm that re-positions their focus/expertise on an almost annual basis - Negative culture and work environment - pretentious staff, lack of diversity, micromanagement, old boys club - Expect to primarily be doing desk research (google searches.. they don't pay for any research), secret shopping or panel surveys.
