Terrific Reputation, Mediocre People and Work
Pros: -Good salary with little education
-Good 401(k) plan
-Can provide a lifelong career for those interested
Cons: -Lots of mediocre people better at BSing than actually producing
-Very little reward for or promotion of higher education - the company is largely run by "good ol' boys" with little attention to critical thinking or forethought
-Easy for incompetent people to succeed since the firm is so large - very little focus on talent
-Constant ethical ambiguity brought on by a constant drive to expand - regularly aids and abets tax evasion by corporations and HNWI
-Constant travel, with no policy or avenue to promote local work or general work/life balance
-Perfect example of why consultants are nowhere near worth the hype, and certainly not the rates they charge
-Numbered review system done firm-wide by panels that reviewees are never allowed to meet - a completely dehumanizing and faux-objective process
