Good Career Start

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

- If you are noticed and have great technology skills, you will likely work on many projects within your first year and be at the top of the list for new projects. - Great exposure to databases, financial reporting, business intelligence tools, and important financial regulations. - Young company (age of management generally >28) and everyone is smart, driven, and friendly - Lots of after work social events - If you know Spanish, big plus - Average length of projects >3 months - Work directly with clients and have opportunity to build relationship with clients - Good work and work attitude is noticed - Given greater responsibility when show can handle it - Training is given priority and taken seriously by management

Cons

- There are many projects that feel like contracting instead of consulting (meaning doing the work that full time employees should be handling) - Salary feels low for industry when compare to hours worked, benefits, and type of projects - With new clients or clients that are worrying about the project, there is sometimes a culture of micromanagement and always being at your desk (look like you are working) - Some managers are a little more Spanish in their management style, which can conflict with American work culture - The hours for the consulting industry are okay, however it's possible to work elsewhere and be paid more for less time in the office. If stuck on a boring project, the hours do not feel worth it.

Good place to learn a lot and launch a career in finance

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunities to learn a lot, various types of projects provide an introduction to many subjects and the opportunity to specialize as you get more experience. Lots of responsibility and exposure to management in top financial institutions even within the first years. This is a great way to launch a career with yearly promotions and constant learning. Opportunities to travel and work with professionals from around the world.

Cons

the scale of the opportunities varies greatly depending on how much work you are willing to put in and your aptitude. You have to be willing to work hard and sometimes long hours. (It’s not a place to show up 9-5, get a paycheck, and leave.) Some projects are less interesting than others. The starting salary is not great but the yearly raises are well above average.

Pros

- Gain first hand experience in many different fields in very little time. Hence, it truly is a great career starter as it allows you find the work that you really like to then shift your professional and intellectual focus accordingly. - Growth potential is literally as big as the size of the US financial markets (mostly banking) if you have the endurance to make it to the partner level. - Not cut-throat at all. Great environment among colleagues and managers. Managers are generally reasonable, approachable and transparent if you ask the right questions at the right settings. It takes time but if you prove yourself, they will also truly listen with regards to professional aspirations and geographical mobility. - You get to work with extremely intelligent and well rounded colleagues and managers (with limited exceptions as in any other organization). - Travel is nice but frequency and location is dependent on the project. - Organic growth only (double edged sword).

Cons

- Compensation scheme needs to be improved for those who deserve it. As other reviews pointed out, workload may change based on the project, and pay will increase on a yearly basis substantially (percentage wise) for practically all. However, there could be cases where experienced team members are working better hours while being rewarded significantly more. This is purely circumstantial on the project (understandable - not a perfect world), but the reality is that yearly increases may not be equitable. - Economic incentive to travel has diminished. I believe this may yield cost-reduction. Salaries could be increased across the board based on this. Also, entry-level salaries were also increased a few years back while not bumping up mid-level salaries accordingly. - Organic growth only (again, double edged sword). - Refer to advice to management for the final con.
