Business Outlook

Pros

World-class colleagues who are both intellectually sharp and genuinely collaborative. Growing to outpace McKinsey and strong reputation on important topics of the future like AI. Prestigious brand that opens doors across industries and geographies. Clear career trajectory with frequent feedback and structured learning.

Cons

The fast-paced environment isn’t for everyone; it requires resilience and adaptability. Feedback-heavy culture can feel intense at times, especially for those not used to constant evaluation.
