A lot has changed
Pros: This review actually predates the spinoff of its consulting business into CAP Gemini, so a lot has changed. Unfortunately, Glassdoor doesn't have a "pre-2009" option.

* Good knowledge management support, the firm really worked at this
* Open to experimentation and staying with new trends, in pockets
* Unusual efforts to marry industry knowledge with the accounting & audit segment
Cons: * The usual in the industry re: little work/life balance, large turnover.

* Inconsistent management. It amazed me that a senior manager could consistently blow projects, and have terrible relationships with staff, without consequences. This phenomenon seems to be prevalent in the consulting industry, and it would be really interesting to see some studies as to why.

* With some institutional (KM, some IT) and personal exceptions, support functions often demonstrated poor performance.
