Pros

Enormous momentum over last 2-3 years. Above market average growth, strong confidence. Attracted lots of talent from other premier firms. Killer offerings for productivity agenda of clients fuels growth. Probably best partnership model around: highly democratic, leadership tenure limits, no concentration of ownership, debt-free. Entrepreneurial culture. Global scale (60 offices, 40 countries) but no 'big-machine' feeling. Clear winner in industry where flawed governance structures failed.

Cons

Need to enhance value proposition to top 10% partners. Some internal processes could be simpler.

Pros

If you’re fresh out of school and don’t have a specific skill and don’t know what to do, and you’re willing to be a yes man then yes it might be a good place to figure out your next step.

Cons

- Lack of pipeline for certain practices (and they will blame that on you saying your utilization is low but there’s nothing you can do at an associate level) - Full of people that feel good about themselves but they actually knows nothing about how actual industry work - No talent - Management will give you vague feedback that you can’t act on, For example, I got asked to “elevate the deck” but when I asked is it the messaging or is it the format etc they can’t give me anything specific - The expectation on work quality is inconsistent - Some manager level people can’t do excel which is shocking - You need to be a people pleaser in order to get promoted
