Pros

A secure, generally supportive work environment, where I personally have found opportunities to mould and progress my role quickly.

Cons

-Support staff in general are woefully under-appreciated -Management/Partners often expect support staff to pull out the stops and spend their personal time on projects to compensate for poor time management elsewhere (for no overtime or bonus, but Time Off in Lieu) - Large scale procedural change is often poorly communicated to the business as a whole -Management/Partners are prone to letting personal preference override best practice or global company guidelines, especially when pursuing large projects against a tight deadline

Pros

For the most part, it is a relaxed environment where teaming is thought of highly. Co-workers are generally nice and intelligent people and always willing to lend a helping hand- not a cut throat environment like some other firms. For the most part, I've had positive interactions with managers, sr. managers and partners. Flexible working environment which allows you to work from home every once in a while if you have to. Also, decent work/life balance (but this also depends on your project). Not an "up or out" environment - seems like there are always second chances.

Cons

For the most part, promotions depend on who you know and how close of a relationship you develop with the person who reviews you. A lot of politics like any other firm. Within Advisory, entry-level positions end up doing a lot of menial tasks that don't always provide you a big-picture view. Traveling/flying can be tiring, especially if you get stuck on one project for a long period of time.

Pros

Lots of opportunities for growth; good brand name for your career; lots of responsibility

Cons

Be sure that you are working there because you want to get ahead because the culture is a performance culture and you need to come to work every day. Be aware that the company will use the carrot-and-stick method of leadership so you can expect to have your team struggle to come up with negative feedback whether or not they actually feel that way. Personally, I hated that.
