Lots of opportunities for growth and ownership of your career, but long hours and difficulty with staffing
Pros: Practitioners own their own career and therefore, for the most part, have an equal chance of success and ability to explore different areas and grow. Early on, in comparison to other companies, there are opportunities for leadership positions and mentoring junior staff.
Cons: Majority of projects have long hours on average and sometimes weekend work, making it difficult to achieve work-life balance. In order to have positive ratings at year end and therefore higher raises, bonuses, and chances for promotion, practitioners also need to participate and/or lead firm initiatives. This all amounts to high expectations for working hours. It is also difficult, especially early on, to have any control over staffing in areas of interest.
