Pros

Flexibility to do consulting. Ability to focus on clients versus internal issues (thought this is diminishing)

Cons

Proliferating bureaucracy. Title-crazy executives --- 5 presidents" CEO says she has "tranformed us into a sales culture when, in fact, she has imposed a "bookkeeper culture" full of forms and reports and imaginary metrics. Shockingly inward focus.

Pros

name brand recognition generally good work life balance - but travel can be an issue for some easy to learn about a wide range of subjects

Cons

very weak senior team not a thought leader - more of a thought reproducer no talent development - senior professionals focused on own careers and don't get rewarded for focusing on people outdated technology extremely redundant and tedious work at all levels manager research is a dead end and the leaders of the group from Europe are out of touch and uninspiring consultancy lacks innovation and generally just overwhelms clients with information not thought leadership
