Experience level: Junior

Good people but lack of security and stability
Pros: Market reputation of a Big 4, opportunities to explore different careers/verticals and many good people.
Good opportunities to build internal practices and assets. Better work life balance than other Big 4s.
Cons: Advisory practice is immature, extremely volatile/unstable leadership, very low utilization firm-wide (& weak pipeline) that keeps a feeling of insecurity lingering and many high performing people being fired due to incompetent sales partners. Very few people who stay in the firm for longer than 3 years.

Overall recruitment process and prospect handling skills suck.

No focus on thought leadership. Far behind in terms of internal trends and maturity when compared to other Big 4s specifically Deloitte and PwC.
