Great company to work for

Business Outlook

Pros

You get to work with clients from a wide range of industries on their most important issues. People are generally smart and driven. The culture is supportive; case teams work together to solve client problems and help one another, with very little politicking within the firm. Great global training programs where consultants from all over the world are brought together in one location for milestone training programs. Career progression can be fast - if you measure up.

Cons

Hours can be long and travel taxing. Very focused on producing results for clients, which can lead to stress and pressure on consultants.
