Pros

* Impact Projects- focus on implementation * Steep Learning Curve * Great Set of People

Cons

* Long working Hours * HR sucks!- Have been really pissed off as they take a long time to respond or they never respond to your queries and the trend has been going on since the time I was supposed to join the firm. They don't pick up calls or respond to your emails. I had to literally engage the senior management to get my joining details as HR was not responding at all to my emails or they were not even picking up calls.

Pros

If you’re fresh out of school and don’t have a specific skill and don’t know what to do, and you’re willing to be a yes man then yes it might be a good place to figure out your next step.

Cons

- Lack of pipeline for certain practices (and they will blame that on you saying your utilization is low but there’s nothing you can do at an associate level) - Full of people that feel good about themselves but they actually knows nothing about how actual industry work - No talent - Management will give you vague feedback that you can’t act on, For example, I got asked to “elevate the deck” but when I asked is it the messaging or is it the format etc they can’t give me anything specific - The expectation on work quality is inconsistent - Some manager level people can’t do excel which is shocking - You need to be a people pleaser in order to get promoted
