      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It's a great international company!!! I'm in the IT Advisory area and the knowledge u can find here is a lot... Good Seniority and perspective of grow as fast as u want. Sometimes u are assigned to the same project for long time, but asking to change is not unusefull. Managers give u the right importance as your experience go up. They give a lot of attention to your growing, organizing many lessons about business cases, best practices, several kind of skills (IT and other) giving u the opportunity of learning and undestanding what other business lines do. And paying for u a lot of different courses u couldn't afford by yourself, getting international certification (ISO and more...). After some months of experience here, u can spend it in other companies without any problem.

      Cons

      Low salary when u start working for them, compared to the rest of Europe. No tickets for lunch.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Opportunity to learn new skills and be exposed to different industries. 2. Name recognition, good for resume. 3. Flexible schedule/work from home, depending on client needs. 4. High caliber mandatory training annually and ad hoc. 5. Highly skilled professionals, opportunity to team and work on highly specialized areas. 6. Plenty of administrative support. 7. Availability of tools: blackberry, wireless laptop, research tools, software, other equipment and supplies. 8. Travel policy: gives employee flexibility within guidelines. 9. Expense policy: gives employee flexibility within guidelines. 10. Typically generous with reimbursement policies as long as there is good business reasons. 11. Subordinates are good following instructions from superiors. 12. Superiors provide flexibility to subordinates on how to get something done. 13. Partners are accessible. 14. Employees are cooperative even when they don't know you. 15. Motivated coworkers that are driven to perform at their best. 16. Team oriented culture that supports coworkers at work. 17. Reward programs such as "Encore" programs that reward throughout the year and not have to wait until year end. The rewards are $500, $200, and $100. $500 is currently temporarily suspended due to budget constraints. 18. PTO vacation that includes sick days are 25 days per year. 19. The firm conducts good market research and compensates individuals according to market for the skill sets comparable to the other big 4. 20. Incentive bonus can be generous for the high performer depending on the company's performance. Typically can be anywhere from 3% to 20%. The year 2008 was significantly lower due to economics. The year 2009 won't be great year either.

      Cons

      1. Depending on the client needs, you may not have control over when and where you travel and stay; you may not have control over work hours, including necessity to work late nights, at home, and on weekends. 2. Highly driven environment may expect you to put work ahead of personal matters. 3. Highly competitive environment that rewards results even at the detriment of coworkers. 4. There is more emphasis on lowering costs than employee loyalty; the firm continues to hire lower cost associates while laying off higher cost individuals. 5. Management and partnership over promises to the clients which over extends the employee. 6. Engagements are priced too aggressively exerting downward pressure on costs and usage of less experienced and lower paid staff which may impact overall quality of the deliverables. 7. Cost reduction efforts are misguided. Offices have expensive Christmas parties while continuing to replace higher salaried employees with lower less experienced ones. 8. The firm will reward exceptional performers at the upper 15% percentile, but high performers that do not meet the cut become disposable. 9. Employee loyalty is not valued by the firm; the firm values the bottom line results. 10. The firm values short term results and is less concerned about keeping loyal and experienced employees for the long term goals.
