Pros

1. Top notch people 2. Industry thought leadership 3. High stability, even in an unstable world 4. High client satisfaction and repeat rates 5. Flexible work and low concept of "face-time" 6. Intellectually stimulating and challenging 7. Love to see the impact of my work on client organizations and their people

Cons

1. It's not for everybody (high number of people screened out) 2. Recent focus on operational projects is an extension of the business but may not be what we all signed up for (this is being addressed, however) 3. Less brand recognition outside of our core areas of focus
