Pros

- Downtown location, Paid Parking, Cell Phones

Cons

These guys are clowns. 90% of the work is staff augmentation, there is not real "consulting to this"; put together financial statements is not consulting. Many of the companies are PE funded start ups, very few big names work with these guys. Environment as a whole is toxic, unwanted sexual innuendo occurs frequently, look at who they are recruiting, "special partner happy hours" where inappropriate behavior occurs with staff. Its all a joke. Save your dignity and work in a true professional environment where you can truly advance your career. look at the website, no diversity, that should tell you something

Pros

I have been there long enough and worked in many projects so I can make these observations: - Recommended for folks interested in finance/accounting and related disciplines - Not recommended for folks in IT, project management or software delivery - Neutral opinion for engineering/chemical disciplines, although promising as they remain mostly independent of the other silos - Great partners, MDs and teams in finance, accounting, outsourcing, valuation, engineering, etc. - Cannot say the same about the Process & Technology consulting partners and some MDs - Good office location with nice office decor - Almost all partners demonstrate a genuine interest in your well being - Projects are challenging and clients appreciate your work - Decent salary and so-so bonus - Good camaraderie at the lower levels of the organization - Great Christmas and summer pool party

Cons

Unfortunately, the good also has the bad. In this case, I am not happy with some of the ways they handle situations and people: - Limited professional development - OK for early career but of no impact to others with some or advanced experience - You are only as good as the skills you bring with you or learn on your own - Individual personality analytics provided by a third party not necessarily for your benefit - Bench management is horrible - unless you proactively manage project assignments, you will be fired no matter whether you are there 5 weeks or 5 years - nobody has your back! - Need to eliminate some of the major consulting firm bad traits that made their way into this organization

Pros

- Large Oil and Gas clients that are relatively big names but much of the work is staff augmentation - Junior Staff are generally professional and trying to grow - Free snacks - if you are in the office

Cons

- Partners lies through their teeth about assignments, compensation, rewards to employees . . . anything to get their way. - Partners have openly recruited people from other prestigious firms, promised them huge compensation only to pay lower than market rates and turn around and fire them so they can cash in. This is a regular occurrence. - Partners should be paying staff higher than market rates to compensate for the risk employees take on by working in a highly volitile energy market but instead, promise them that the bonus will 'take care of it' and dont raise base salary commensurate with experience. - Intentionally slow to promote because they make more money at the determent of the persons self esteem, career, and hard work; people eventually figure this out and just leave. - They have told women staffers they will not compensate them for ' having a baby ' - Office culture is brash and there are frequent sexual innuendos made by partners - Partners are very prone to play favorites, especially when it is convenient
