Pros

The only thing is that when you travel/move to another city/state/country, there's most likely an FTI office there for you to work at

Cons

Lack of empathy and emotional intelligence. Managers yell at their employees and you can literally hear the conversation in the hall way. Too many inflated titles. You have Analysts doing analyst work but called Directors. Makes absolutely no sense. The top executive teams spit fire down middle managements' throats and it passes down to the lower level employees. It is really a toxic environment and people shouldn't be expected to work when they leave the office, on weekends, holidays, etc. If you're not working around the clock, there's no way for you to get your work done. Come here for the experience, but make sure you don't get locked in with contracts and the free snacks.

Pros

* Strong brand recognition and an impressive roster of clients and projects. * Opportunity to work with talented colleagues across multiple business segments. * Exposure to a fast-paced environment that provides significant professional growth and learning opportunities.

Cons

* Lack of consistent leadership visibility and clear strategic direction across parts of the organization. * Communication from senior leadership can be limited, leaving employees without a clear understanding of priorities and long-term goals. * Decision-making often feels reactive rather than proactive. * Accountability and partnership are inconsistent across teams and business segments. * Employees may not always feel adequately supported when raising concerns or navigating challenging situations. * Leadership teams are often stretched thin, which can impact coaching, communication, and overall employee support. * Performance evaluation and promotion processes can lack transparency, making it difficult to understand how decisions are made. * Employee experiences can vary significantly depending on team, manager, and business segment. * Opportunities for feedback exist, but employees do not always see meaningful action taken in response to recurring concerns. * Collaboration and cross-functional alignment can be challenging at times due to differing priorities and expectations.
