Pros

Great brand name recognition in the relevant industries and market segments; it started out as a turnaround firm but has branched out to other areas, including financial advisory services (FAS). However, at its core it's still a turnaround/restructuring firm; it continues to have excellent brand name recognition in this particular segment. Within FAS the corporate investigation practice also has done well and is growing rapidly. The compensation system is good, particularly one is willing to put in long hours. The firm has very good future prospects and likely to benefit greatly in the recessionary environment where many firms/industries are looking for performance improvement and turnaround services.

Cons

Certain practice areas have little work-life balance; poor communication from management. It is extremely turnaround-service centric and the leadership shows little respect or recognition to the accomplishments of other practice areas.

Pros

- Compensation is good - Higher fees typically mean you're doing more high level work (i.e., not long boring implementations) - In P&T you don't have to live near an office, just near an airport - For the most part, weekends are respected - For the most part, everyone at the firm is smart and hardworking, the few exceptions typically get weeded out eventually

Cons

- High degree of variability in travel, weekend work, etc. across the firm - you need to find the good managers to work for - Like all consulting, when work gets busy your personal life is expected to take a back seat
