Pros

A very family-like working environment. It is not the most creative place in the world but certainly the people make up for it. There is a respect for work/life balance and they are particularly understanding if you are a mother. I worked at HQ and am not a consultant. There is a real passion to do what's right by our consultants. People work hard at work but when the day is done - there aren't after working emails and ridiculous pressure. The value system of the founder is very much apparent - the mind frame of most is a bit old school and traditional but in comparison to other places I have worked - I highly recommend. People stay with the company a long time which is testament to the nice environment.

Cons

In the end, the place wasn't creative or innovative enough for me. I think better for someone more established in their career that just wants to collect a salary and go home. At times this inability to want to think outside the box made me feel the environment was too lazy. There wasn't bitchiness or anything like that - but people weren't willing to be challenged or push themselves too far. It was just a job.
