Pros

- Your ideas are important, regardless of your level/tenure - Project teams run relatively flat, partners feel like coworkers rather than unreachable senior figures - It is entrepreneurial, people who don't agree are likely to expect/feel entitled to opportunities without putting in effort

Cons

- It is a travel job, so if you don't want to travel not the best career track - Some time intensive processes around project evaluations, but currently being remedied - Still haven't perfected knowledge management, knowledge sharing, or SMEs accountability; ability to get valuable info/tools still primarily based on relationships

Business Outlook

Pros

Firm aspires to grow, but can't get out of its own way; extremely shortsighted (pennywise, dollar-foolish)

Cons

Sink or swim culture without feedback or clear goals Terrible bonus compensation; ineligible for bonus your first full working year post-MBA, and based on your ranking following those years, may receive no bonus at all Project leadership could care less about employees; selling work = the only goal of the firm
