Pros

They provide you with free snacks and soft drinks.

Cons

They have not been able to retain a Vice President for longer than a year because their culture is so terrible. It is the reason they pay above market. They pay above market because they work you for 80 hours a week, call you on weekends, never train you, and the Directors talk about you behind your back. Everyone regrets working here after a couple weeks. If you try to come up with new ideas to change, it is met with strong resistance. Look around the Chicago office and you will see nobody interacting, nobody taking lunch breaks, and some Directors barely acknowledge you walking by.

Pros

less hierarchal in nature than other consulting firms

Cons

seen a lot of off-handed comments about directors from other managing directors in the presence of SVPs and VPs when an employee had put in notice. Not nice. not a very diverse place to work
