Vantaggi

Pay is okay, still low. Great and reasonably priced medical, dental, and vision benefits! Nice cafe/kitchen area, excellent admin staff!

Svantaggi

Horrible hours in a company that is trying so hard to be part of the Big 4 club, but also claim to have the "smaller firm" atmosphere. There is so much bureaucracy, getting even the smallest thing in place takes months or gets lost. The manager to associate ratio is almost 1:1 with little to no communication between managers over which projects are assigned to whom. You won't really be able to use the great medical benefits until you have a complete breakdown, heart attack, or your medical needs happen to coincide with the ever diminishing "slow" season. Speaking of slow season, be ready to beg for work everyday to try to reach your still required 40 hours (actual with a goal of 35-40 billable).

Vantaggi

Consultants were not overworked, and people are generally staying in their own lane. Strong knowlegeable teammates and lots of internal resources to grow. Work life balance was good.

Svantaggi

I left during a time of transition, since the top practice director retired and the EBA leader took over as interim leader. This interim guy seemed to be waiting for something to take any action with current resources, and he was not too interested in rallying or figuring things out as a team. If he had expectations, they were never communicated to me. The lack of clarity was very challenging for me personally, and it came off as a lack of support. I think others in the team probably feel similarly.
