Pros

Great culture - very active in engaging with employees at all levels, across the globe. You may work with some of the most intelligent people who also enjoy being fun and have bring a sense of meaning to consulting

Cons

If you aren't a client-facing resource or consultant, there's limited mentorship or engagement with leaders beyond what's transactional. Internal resources can be treated like second class citizens and consultants can engage with internal resources rudely with no consequence. When cases aren't going well or pressure is on, internal resources can be treated as a punching bag.

Cons

Current CEO and leadership trickles down commercialization message, everything is about metrics, what's the business impact, how many cases did this work touch, what is the trend. Often times appearing shortsighted. Lots of politics, lots of words, limited action from PA leadership, largely because they are unable to make a decision, going back and forth on priorities; Every MDP wanting to own something, with too many chefs in the kitchen, and not enough true clarity. Incentive metrics are broken, and asked to do more, An innovation unit is not recognized.
