Vantaggi

- Generally good people / culture. Less ego than other firms / industries. Reason why stayed for 5+ yrs - Attractive salary (up to Principal level) for consulting - Strong push for growth - exciting times as it seems to be working - Smaller scale (1/8th of McK) makes it easier to "change" things; more "startup" feel

Svantaggi

- Perceived as a "Sourcing / Ops shop" in the US. Limits exit options / how you are perceived in the market - Lack of scale and focus in key areas (alumni, external placements, training, various support roles etc) - Less ability to specialize (which keeps it exciting, yet slows down expertise-building, time to promotion etc) - Thought-leadership in distinct areas only (not as broad as larger competitors) - Less "glamour" (for those who need it - although recent offsites in Cancuun / Cannes etc helped) ... and the usual industry-cons: - Lots of travel / average work-life balance - Not every project is exciting (and guess what: the same is true for MBB)

Vantaggi

If you’re fresh out of school and don’t have a specific skill and don’t know what to do, and you’re willing to be a yes man then yes it might be a good place to figure out your next step.

Svantaggi

- Lack of pipeline for certain practices (and they will blame that on you saying your utilization is low but there’s nothing you can do at an associate level) - Full of people that feel good about themselves but they actually knows nothing about how actual industry work - No talent - Management will give you vague feedback that you can’t act on, For example, I got asked to “elevate the deck” but when I asked is it the messaging or is it the format etc they can’t give me anything specific - The expectation on work quality is inconsistent - Some manager level people can’t do excel which is shocking - You need to be a people pleaser in order to get promoted
