Pros

The office is amazing. One of the most beautiful I have ever worked in. They hire some great people. You will learn skills that are transferable and build a strong network.

Cons

The CEO and the rest of the post-consulting snobs have no idea how to engage and inspire people.

Pros

Excellent and clear path for young professionals, especially right out of college. Early exposure to clients and opportunities for commercial leadership. Specific valuable account/project/knowledge/client management experience that positions you well for future work. Very good pay for top performers, especially given the work/life balance and flexibility. Ideal good work/life balance. Dynamic and trusting work environment.Flexibility and comfort at the office and with managers. Open and fairly ego-less senior management. Top performers and self starters are very well positioned for growth, and the company naturally needs to retain talent. Learning based environment that's open to opinions and suggestions. Top tier facilities. Wide geographic footprint and flexible management makes choosing a city to live in fairly easy. Clear growth trajectories and solid outlook for the company's core businesses.

Cons

It's an information services company so there can be a lot of talking and time-suck meetings with buzz words. Can be difficult for newly hired mid-level managers from outside to find their way in the system given the unique work. Company is very much geared toward younger professionals and opportunities are much easier to attain for individuals who went through the senior associate program. Has some fat in the middle from earlier years of less rigorous hiring standards.
