Director
Pros: The organization has an entrepreneurial spirit.  People are generally intelligent and collaborative.  6 week paternity leave policy and basically the firm shuts down for 2 weeks during the holidays.  It's a good consulting firm compared to other firms.
Cons: Fragmented organization where practices do not work cohesively together.  Business development is painful as existing account teams often get in the way of new services you would like to introduce to a client.  Sometimes account teams will sell work in your area of specialty without involving you upfront then ask for help once the project is having difficulties.  

Lots of internal administrative overhead which wastes your time due to compliance requirements and terrible software applications.  At least, Lotus Notes is finally gone, but so many awful homegrown applications 

Cohort model unfairly limits your compensation.  I work in a practice where compensation is high across the industry, but did not get a raise after a strong year as my base salary is above the Cohort model salary range.  I'm stuck at my current compensation unless I get promoted.
