Delivers on its promise, but is frequently at odds with itself
Pros: Work life balance as good as you'll get in Big 4 management consulting. People are smart and friendly. It is easy to become one of the team. Real technical strength in Risk and Accounting. Emerging sector/industry strengths will make them a leader down the road.
Cons: Poor knowledge culture and incentive system for info sharing; the wheel is reinvented daily. Strategy is still evolving. Clients want process and technology, but the firm has only recently accepted that fact. It will take time to ramp up in the technology area ( e.g. SAP, SalesForce). Massive overhead costs make pricing tricky, often leading to sub-optimal engagement economics and charge pressure.
