Business Outlook

Pros

Some very talented colleagues Good reputation Opportunities to work globally

Cons

Really poor salaries outside of partnership Some strange culture and colleagues, including sexism, racism Lack of diversity Failed to adapt to the modern world of technology and online services Inability to work across offices, or across service lines Ran by old white guys who don't understand that the world has changed Political risk is a joke. Totally missed the Trump phenomenon, making grand claims that it was literally impossible for him to be elected. They are now claiming to be Trump experts.

Pros

I really enjoyed the people I worked with. Also had some amazing exposure to working with some of the biggest companies in the world. Projects were very interesting and I was given lots of autonomy in my work.

Cons

The upper management did not really listen to suggestions about how to improve the organization. The consultants were not well paid given the level of effort that was expected and given.
