Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Health Insurance premiums are 100% paid for by the company, which is unheard of these days. Option to work from home part-time and they are generally supportive of work-life balance.

Cons

Resources are scarce for non-consulting staff (technology, equipment, human capital, budget, etc.). Salary for non-consulting staff is well below market. Lack of upward mobility; very flat organization.

Business Outlook

Pros

Free food, Ok salary exotic office at exotic location

Cons

Knowledge team is treated nothing more than as a support function. Expectations from knowledge team is to crunch millions of data over night and give them insights. Most of the time it is not data driven decision but what consultant think is right. Consultants treat knowledge team as temporary hired analyst from an analytic boutique. too much compromise on data analysis Tendency to hire individuals at a lower level and a wrong role. Nothing to learn for an analyst.

Business Outlook

Pros

Working with teams of highly capable and motivated people, interesting, challenging projects to work on, exposure across different industries and clients, lots of opportunities for growth

Cons

work life balance - even in places where it is supposedly better, it is still always bad. Travel - being away from home four nights a week every week gets to you.
