Vantaggi

The company appears to have a reasonable backbone for success and seems to have the tools for employee satisfaction. Internal resources and technical expertise throughout the company provide a wealth of resources to serve clients. Employee benefits (outside of salary) seem a bit above the other firms in the region.

Svantaggi

The entire business model is based on acquisitions. Find a firm with a 20+% profit margin; acquire the company; raise billable rates 20%; and hope that after a year you retain a few of the top players so you can make a 5% profit after you have taken care of the abundance of overhead (accountants, lawyers, policy makers, etc). The point: When a company rapidly expands, it has trouble with it's identity. Each acquired firm had their own formula for success. Changing that formula on a local level is slow and sometimes appears almost nonexistent. Acquisitions should be balanced with organic growth. For more information, review the company size five years ago, ten years ago. This company needs more than a feel-good policy written by a suit in a vacuum.

Vantaggi

You will be working with great minds. People have their niches expertise and it’s wonderful to learn from them. Very professional and respectful behavior. Doesn’t feel like other consulting firms where you’re worked like a dog.

Svantaggi

Sometimes it’s hard to build consistent work because people tend to hold on to their projects rather than transferring to junior staff and it’s mainly because the pressure to be billable is high.
