Great people and investment in people and culture
Pros: Invested in people regularly with training and other opportunities for career growth.

Most current and new hire employees were a great fit when it came to personalities and domain knowledge. I found the majority of people from analyst to partner/principal were really great to work with. Everyone put in 110% and we still had fun even on hard projects. 

The variety of work was great. 

Significant travel requirements that I loved as a design consultant, but not for everyone. The senior leaders were very supportive of people having a healthy work, life, balance, as well as, encouraged and helped ensure taking adequate time off.
Cons: The type of work wasn’t challenging enough for me, which is specific to the area I supported. 

The loose politics/off the record need to participate in firm initiatives to be promoted seemed subjective and at times required many hours on top of 60 hour weeks, plus travel. People often stated it could take 3-6 years to move from a graphic designer, manager to senior manager. Within that time it felt like I was performing at a senior level, but without the title and compensation.

The role itself didn’t have any direct reports, so I felt I lost my managerial responsibilities moving to Deloitte.
