Great people, terrible management and corporate communication.
Pros
Very entrepreneurial environment. Great for go getters and young consultants with nothing but time. Salaries are fairly generous. Great client names for the resume. Great location in downtown Chicago.
Cons
No real continuing education budget - you learn on your own if you have time. They'll work you like a dog if you allow it. Cryptic corporate communication. Bonus structure convoluted and weighted heavily on company performance rather than individual performance. Projects deemed "meaningful" get the glory while most are virtually ignored. Too many intellectuals lacking management skills. Way too many VP's. Promotions based on insane hours worked or sales numbers. Company promotes and praises managers that have made people quit. Ridiculous executive business decisions have put great teams in toxic work environments for extended periods of time.
