Non-Audit Culture Erosion Hasn't Helped
Pros: A terrific training ground for virtually any industry and skill development ranging from technology process design to corporate strategy.  Strong brand, trust from industry leaders gets you in any door.  Establishing connections with industry professionals and executives is a given.
Cons: Homogenized performance management across varied practices are inappropriate, but hard to ditch as they are born from Audit.  The assertiveness of the audit heritage is being felt and not in a good way across 6th he non-audit businesses.  Utilization-heavy metric ties to reward structures create a piranha pool of selfishness at times, not teamwork.  This is rarely managed well by the partners. Partners generally expect Directors to gin up and sell work, and then deliver it.  Precious few rock star partners exist that do what partners are supposed to do. They have been reduced to corporate vassals. Partner role in traditional terms seems to be diminished in impact and leadership  over time.
