Teaches you basic client-facing skills, how to take ownership of your work and navigate politics that amid part of any corporate environment. Fantastic, optimistic, gorgeous junior team
Cons
Some of the partners (read most) have no business being in consulting. As a result, the work is less focused on strategic consulting and more on 2nd rate market research.

Hard working associates, mostly bright (and admirable) heads of department. Good benefits. Previous CEO seemed like a genuinely nice guy and would listen to you if you approached him about something.
Cons
There’s a lot of reasons why top notch talent has long jumped ship.
Great at sounding smart…terrible at actually getting the revenue to avoid the wholesale data asset sell offs going on.
Terribly overcomplicated product portfolios with inflexible solutions at higher costs than smaller leading agencies that have outpaced them.
Department heads gaslighting everyone under VPs about performance when they aren’t winning the internal Hunger Games and are told to reduce headcount.
