Pros
The people are the best in the business. Very smart, highly learning agile, creative, warm, fun! I believe it is the best in Leadership & Talent Consulting. The intellectual property is second to none. Great place to learn, fast paced, lots of variety Very high-profile clients Good benefits
Cons
It's a maverick culture--everyone for himself. Teamwork and collaboration are not valued. The culture is punitive. If something goes wrong on a project, people are quick to blame and point fingers. Clients at this level (Fortune 500) are extemely demanding and often arrogant Company is way too bureaucratic for a company this size. Information systems SUCK! They are using a skeleton and very old version of SAP. Project management systems are terrible. The administrative burden of entering time is ridiculous! Takes an hour a week to enter your time if you have a bunch of different projects. The company and all its processes have been built around executive search business. These processes (and paradigms) are not applicable to Leadership and Talent Consulting, but the company has been slow to realize this. So it always feels like a square pet in a round hole.
