Pluspunten
-Bright and ambitious colleagues -Great firm to develop your skills -Good variety of practices/specialty areas (i.e. PE) -Excellent mentorship program -Global staffing model if you want to go to UAE, Australia, etc.
Minpunten
-Newly introduced aggressive Up or Out model pushes out those who are not staffed on the right projects or have a partner who would throw them a utilization bone -Corrupt Utilization tracking system: Does not track actual hours worked (40 hours max, which NOBODY at this firm works 40 hours) and some partners give billing codes to select favored consultants so they are "blocked" from staffing and really sit idle while you hustle on proposals that do not have any positive utilization impact -High burn proposal work (most of the time it's a shot in the dark so your efforts will go un-noticed for the most part) -Limited firm expertise/growth areas -Many leaving the firm in droves due to frustration/leadership -Promotions really are luck of the draw and as someone else said, could be a sign of sexist leadership... -Mandatory firm building/recruiting/IC creation/etc at the expense of your work/life balance -Staffing doesn't really look out to match opportunities to best suited consultants -Bonus is discretionary so don't believe HR when they tell you a minimum range
