Great brand, incredible network, fantastic place to start a career.
Pros: Really fast-growing, exciting Consulting practice with a flexible graduate programme that lets associates experience a very large variety of competencies (i.e. functions/capabilities, e.g. Operations, Strategy, Finance, Technology etc.) and sectors. Very good work-life balance is achievable, although hours vary considerably depending on project - some very good (and I mean really good) others very bad.
Cons: Compensation could be better, communication was somewhat lacking but has been improving considerably. Associate appraisals are very competitive and hard to distinguish oneself based on excellent client work alone.
