The FS Advisory Partnership is in shambles!
Pros: The company still maintains a good brand image, although it has lost a lot of business and some reputation since the summer of 2015. Some really talented people who either can't work with each other or create cliques, undermining their own potential and of the delivery team. There are still some genuine and good people in pockets, so where you land up depends on your research and to a certain extent, on luck!
Cons: PwC used to be an amazing place to work at, but over the past two years and especially in the New York, I've seen some of the worst people, mainly at manager level and above. I've worked at the other Big 4 firms and this definitely has the worst culture. This has gone hand-in-hand with a streak of poor performance. The FS Advisory partners have lost major accounts over the last couple of years. This led to a lot of politics, territory grabbing and loss of staff (both through attrition and layoffs). I cannot confirm but it appears they have defied WARN employment laws in their layoffs. It's only a matter of time before someone takes the pain to sue them.
