Good place to work. Strategy is now clear and makes sense
Pros: Partners now must demonstrate cross-firm collaboration to secure expected remuneration - significantly improving working environment for all.
Firm genuinely respects  people. Those with tough personal circumstances are well looked after
Clear UK strategy in place and building. A short list of simple initiatives all can understand and relate to in their own activities.
Cons: Usual consultancy work life balance - long hours away from home and risk of being forgotten when on client sites
Can be cliquey impeding recognition. Partner model dictates your partners need to know (and like) you to progress
Remuneration not as high as others in the big 4 - but offset by better overall culture than the other three.
