Pros
The people are exceptionally intelligent, remarkably kind, and a pleasure to work with. Each office remains fairly autonomous, empowered to navigate market conditions strategically while having the support of the larger organization. Broad-based ownership relatively early in your tenure remains a foundational tenet of SEI being an employment brand overall. Ownership entails greater responsibility than traditional employment roles, with corresponding rewards for those who drive business outcomes effectively.
Cons
Success is measured over the long haul based on your ability to drive business growth, and doing so as billable consultants can be difficult. Achieving this performance standard year after year can be a grind, which is why this is not for everyone.
