Pluspunten

Minpunten
-Managers have poor sales skills and you depend on them selling to get work -You must network to get on a project, so if you're new to the firm, this can be tough. My manager and the staffing coordinator didn't help me much to get my first engagement at the firm. I had to network hard because nobody knew me. -Poor feedback from management. Even your periodic reviews offer little in terms of substantial, actionable feedback, so you're unsure as to how you're doing and how you can improve -The organization feels large and bureaucratic even though it's relatively small -Weak training -It's very hard to get work outside of your practice or even outside of your own group within your practice. This is partly because they want specialists on projects, but also because they have a P&L model. If your manager knows about another group that is interested in having you join a project, but he/she has a possible engagement in the near future (1-2 months), your manager may hold you back for his/her potential project. This is bad because if your manager doesn't sell that engagement, you are stuck sitting on your hands. -The benefits are only fair compared to other consulting firms
