Business Outlook
Pros
The firm has a constantly-changing environment, and new challenges every day. Within advisory, there are always new challenges and clients, and even if you are always doing the same type of work, it seems different because you apply it at different clients. Compensation is fair, but by no means extravagant.
Cons
The hours required sometimes can be difficult. 200 hours of overtime is "expected", and many people have over 400. It is also a fairly high-stress environment, especially as you rise up the ladder towards management. Finally, the firm stresses "work-life balance", and does make gestures towards it, but at the end of the day, if the client needs you, you're working.
