Pros

Not much to say here

Cons

This year the Vault Survey will not accurately reflect A.T. Kearney. The firm did not distribute the survey link to consultants in the Normal 2 or Slow Progression Tracks. The firm has 5 tracks - Fast Track 1, Fast Track 2, Normal 1, Normal 2 and Slow. While it cannot be proven, this has been determined to be a theme across at least 20 consultants from different offices and position levels. This seems ethically wrong and says volumes about the firm.

Pros

You get lots of SPG hotel points

Cons

Bait and switch - they just announced (in Feb 2014) that for 2013, that they are changing the compensation and bonus structure - so they are changing it AFTER the year has happened. They are limiting bonuses and salary increases to only the top 50% of employees, even though everyone works the same hours. The most frustrating fact is that they had us work the ENTIRE YEAR and then told us AFTER THE FACT. Many employees I know did not get a bonus or salary increase this year, only finding after they worked the entire year.
