Pros

You are absolutely surrounded by some very smart individuals. There is opportunity to learn some very helpful skills to start your career.

Cons

This firm is not revommended if you are not a consultant. As a non-consultant there is no career growth. Consultants are given opportunities that should be given to support professionals who have the degrees and experience to actually launch and execute successful programs and initiatives. Support professionals have very little option for career development.

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.
