Pros

- Career Growth: Leadership has set clear expectations and a path to grow and succeed at the firm; any new joiner will understand their annual goals very clearly - Meritocracy: If you have what it takes, you will get ample of opportunities to grow at the firm across multiple accounts regardless of your level or location; there are several people who have grown from Associate to Principal Consultant in 5-7 years of time (comparable to Big 4) - Strong Partner Community: Most Partners at the firm have a proven track record of sales and revenue growth; most are highly invested in talent development and have an open door policy - Global Opportunities: Although global projects are rare, the firm encourages people to enroll in the GROW program that allows one to relocate to a different country for 1-2 years - Competitive Compensation: The compensation is very competitive for high performers; in a good year, the bonus structure is pretty good as well

Cons

- Inconsistent talent: Hired poorly in the past 2-3 years with certain people who do not have basic skill sets at their individual levels, which sometimes leads to staffing and delivery issues - Poor Back Office Support: As the company grew over 400% since 2010, it led to inconsistencies in support staff like IT and Finance; nothing that you can't handle but it's still a pain point compared to the larger firms

Pros

Varied client work — Different clients and project types, which keeps things interesting. Real project mobility — You can move between projects when you advocate for yourself (within reason). Approachable leadership — Senior leaders are open to conversations if you reach out. Good development resources — Plenty of training and growth opportunities if you take advantage of them. Strong teams — Colleagues are smart, capable, and great to work with. Entrepreneurial environment — New ideas are encouraged, and there’s room to take initiative.

Cons

Long hours vary by project — Like most any professional job, some engagements require extended hours for prolonged periods, but work–life balance really depends on the client and team. Additional internal responsibilities — Depending on level, there can be a significant amount of firm‑support work outside of client delivery. Domain alignment not guaranteed — You may not always be staffed on projects that match your domain expertise. Coaching alignment constraints — Coaching relationships are tied to domain, which limits flexibility in choosing formal mentors. Long engagements (sometimes) — Some projects run for long durations or through multiple extensions. It can provides stability but may reduce variety in client and project experience depending on what you’re looking for.
