Pros

A fantastic place to work filled with a wonderful "band of misfits" who come together each day to work passionately to solve their client's challenges - big or small. There's a never-ending amount of opportunity to learn something new and get involved in a variety of work. The work environment is very laid back and hours are flexible, so long as you get your work done. Everyone contributes and has your back and you can truly be yourself here. I have nothing but respect for the people who work here...They are super-smart, dedicated, collaborative, hilarious and quirky all at once. I couldn't imagine another place to call my home away from home.

Cons

Although the office is conveniently located right by the Metra and working from home on occasion is okay, being located outside of downtown Chicago sometimes makes it difficult to keep younger talent. Not a lot of formal mentoring or training offered but it's a great environment for self-starters and those who learn best from jumping right in.

Pros

- The people here really, genuinely care about you. It's more than just a job, it's a culture you're invited to join where everybody lends a hand to help each other out and make sure you grow.

Cons

- You have to be self-motivated. As a small company, there isn't anyone here to hand-hold you as your try to figure things out. You have to be willing to take some direction, but then own it and carry it forward.

Pros

This is a company that cares deeply about the future, its clients and its people. Years ago you would see the phrase "Ideas from Anywhere" on the web site and walls of MD and this core value is still alive and kicking in this company. The leadership shares challenges, concerns and opportunities with everyone--maybe to a fault--which means the entire organization has a chance to make a difference and create ideas that literally change lives. If you are wicked smart person that enjoys collaborating and being challenged with hurdles that have large organizations stuck, this may be the place for you. You'll work on everything from financial services to pet products and you'll be trusted with challenges reserved only for the partners at larger consulting firms.

Cons

This is an entrepreneurial company which can mean leadership will try to take on too many internal initiatives at once. The result is that MD is often ahead of market trends and trying to find leadership who can keep up with the changes. If you're agile and ambitious this feels great but if you are more pragmatic it can be frustrating. Recent management improvements may mean a more balanced approach to what's next going forward.
