Good place, but not what it once was

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting and challenging client work and talented colleagues. Could be an even greater place if not attached to a public traded parent company (MMC). Clients are high-quality, brand names, but client work itself is often not as interesting as it could be due to lower buying level.

Cons

Increasing burden around administrative tasks and less personal development opportunities given cost control pressures. Quarterly performance targets drive behaviors counter to long-term growth of the firm.
