Business Outlook

Pros

People are great, big name that will open some doors, and fairly small compared to other management consulting firms

Cons

-Management is in shambles and it's trying to hard to be McKinsey, and the actual consultants are suffering for it -Up-or-out culture sucks -Lower pay than our competitors -Boring projects depending on where the staffing magic hat places you. You have to push for good projects and good teams or else you're out of luck
