Great place to learn, but prepare to be worked to death

Associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Learning environment is unmatched - great colleagues and a rigorous approach to problem solving. You will learn a lot every day, like it or not!

Cons

Although they advertise great "Work life balance" it is a joke. Only better than investment banking. Be prepared to work 60-80+ hours every week and be constantly reporting to managers. If you don't like the job there are 10,000 applicants looking to replace you, so either work like a dog or make room for the next guy who will.
