      Some good people but too much work politics

      Pros

      - Can give you good opportunities to work with some great clients

      Cons

      At the Director level and above, everything seemed like they are in it for themselves and there aren't many people that really look after your interests. Too many people that only know how to put a nice presentation together and get the promoted off the back of it but wouldn't really cut it when working in a tough financial services client.

      Beware of what you are getting yourself into

      Pros

      There can be a lot of really good opportunities to learn and grow at the firm. They have a long list of great clients for the Washington DC area.

      Cons

      Beware of what you are getting yourself into. I was put on the "bad employee list" and was never told that this was a possibility based on my work. After being put on a performance improvement plan, the firm said they were looking for opportunities to get me new engagements to be staffed on. I had a few partners and a manager say that many people come off a performance improvement plan and have great careers. I never got anything for 3 months, while I was asking many times for something to be staffed on and then they let me go. There are plenty of other firms and places to go get the work experience. I look back at my time and I never had anyone stick up for me or try to be of assistance to me and help me get better. Busy season is a beast and you are at the mercy of what the executives want to do for the client and time in the office. I had several weeks of 60 hours plus and some weeks that were into 70 hours. I had clients who did not want to turn their information to us in a timely manner and so it made the last crunch very difficult.

      If you like some golden handcuffs....

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Autonomy - freedom to pursue assignments, b/c who knows if your leadership will give you something concrete. Compensation was more than fair (but not by much). Definitely networking is what they lean on to grow everything.

      Cons

      OMG - where do I begin. I should have been hired in as a Partner, but they wanted to me to prove myself since I came in from a non-traditional route being an independent consultant and my BOB wasn't already pre-built through their method. So I came in and landed several clients, but they definitely "moved the carrot" on me and "bait and switched" me several times. Make no mistake, they are a glorified staffing firm rooted in accounting/lawyer behaviors. These color everything thing they do administratively (which means it can be a nightmare to navigate for some). The climate is highly political.
