Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: current

Overall a good experience
Pros: Great Benefits. Overall from a management consulting perspective, the work environment is a lot better than those of publicly listed consulting firms (Accenture, Capgemini, etc). Management is focused on the long term growth, and is willing to invest in growing practices. 

Overall the culture is very collegiate, unlike other firms. The firm provides plenty of training for employees.
Cons: Coming from a management consulting firm, I found the culture to revolves around risk. It is understandable for Audit, Tax and Internal audit engagments, but complicates regular management consulting engagements (BPS) with unnecessary work being perfomed to comply with the firm's "work paper" policy.

Overall I find the firm to be fairly bureaucratic  with significant layers of management
