Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: former

Good place to start out of school. Limited career growth if you do not know the right people.
Pros: Good place to start out of school. Great learning experience in the first few years. Good perks. Plenty of very talented minds and highly capable individuals. Good training programs. Good number of high profile clients and large engagements. International reach possible with the secondment / exchange program.
Cons: Long hours. Limited career growth if you do not know the right people. Sometimes even higher up staff such as directors or senior managers cannot help you if they do not know the right people.
People can be fired without prior warning. In many cases, downsize is done by not promoting capable people with high ratings (so that they leave on their own and thus avoid paying severances)
