Pros
Geographic diversity; industry diversity; 5 weeks vacation
Cons
publically traded professional services company; ruthless at utilization numbers; larger organization does not understand the different competancies within (e.g., strategy consulting); decision-making extremely short-term driven; no support from executive leadership to provide practices the tools needed to succeed (e.g., strategy consultants need access to research, local offices from which to work together, etc.). They eliminated the San Francisco office and expected consultants living in that area to commute 1.5 hours each way to Mountain View. A 3 hour commute, on top of 10+ hour workdays, is asking too much of employees. I was promoted to Manager during my time there and was not given a raise, at all. The change in expectations from Senior Consultant to Manager are significant, and to be given ZERO pay increase was extremely insulting.
