Pros

Excellent variety of projects and ability to work within many different banking departments. There are also abilities to travel to multiple states for multiple projects.

Cons

Horrible work like balance for Americans. You must stay until 7pm regardless of whether or not your project demands that you are needed in the office.

Pros

-Client Exposure: Most projects give young employees high visibility to the client at an earlier stage as compared to other firms. -Clear promotion path: Most employees will advance through the ranks at a regular annual pace -Good salary increases: High rate of salary and bonus increase as compared to other consulting firms. -Quick advancement for those who demonstrate responsibility: In most cases, those employees who demonstrate competence, maturity, and focus will be given broader responsibilities at a rapid rate as compared to other firms. -Young teammates: Most analysts up to managers are young, making Management Solutions a great place to meet and work with young and motivated professionals. -Travel opportunities and benefits: Opportunities available to travel to Eastern/Southern US, Europe, and South America, though it is project-dependent. Travel benefits are typically better than the average consulting firm. -Multi-Cultural: The firm is diverse with a strong Spanish influence, offering exposure to other cultures and ways of doing business -Stepping Stone: The company offers a variety of financial services-focused management consulting projects which can help build resumes and experience for those beginning a career in business. -Smaller Firm in US: The firm has a relatively small presence in the US, but this can be used as a benefit for those with entrepreneurial ambition. -Projects with Impact: The firm focuses mainly on back-office functions for financial services firms, but the projects have clear outcomes and impacts on the way the client operates. There is reward in seeing your work make an actual difference rather than just being considered as advice.

Cons

-Training: Though the firm offers several courses, much of it is not well prepared and not relevant to the projects most employees are engaged in. The firm needs to offer more structured programs with clear and practical relevance to the consultants' projects. -Project-dependent experience: Depending on the composition of each project team, the positive or negative experience of each project can vary widely. -Narrow clientele: In the US, the firm has a very limited client base. Project subjects may vary, but they are typically limited to the same client. -Limited US Infrastructure: Though the firm is 1400+ globally, the local US office infrastructure and support groups (HR, Legal, etc) are very limited, and employees can feel this effect. -Low starting salary: though increases are high, the starting salary is lower than comparable consulting firms in the US. -Spanish focus: All of the senior leadership down to supervisor level is Spanish. The culture pervades the firm even in local US offices, which can be both a benefit and a con.

Pros

You might gain experience on interesting fields, such as finacial risk management. Your role will depend a lot on the project you are assigned to. You might have the chance to work in other countries.

Cons

Positions in this company are usually extremely demanding, and your tasks will vary a lot depending on the project you are assigned to. It offers positions for technical consultants (IT), but it lacks the know-how and procedures to accomplish technical projects (therefore the long working hours).
