Director, Business Process Group (internal departments)
Pros: This is a partnership where savvy Fortune 500 business consultants run their firm.  Since 2004 the partnership has made significant strides in becoming employer of choice including minimizing the disparity in benefits and comp between our client-facing and internal professionals. Basically internals felt like second class citizens. That's reduced but there is still a bit of a double standard. 

Strong culture initiatives designed to foster a higher purpose and community. Very successful.  Lots of hard working and motivated professionals. May be typical of the Big 4 industry.
Cons: High demand from partners to turn hay into gold on a dime in no time. 

Partners take on infrastructure leadership roles and while it is beneficial to have new blood, it can be challenging to have so much churn in leadership.  Their secondments last 2 to 4 years and then new partners come in.   They tend to have no personal experience to help avoid pitfalls that occurred in the past.
