Good Place to work, found it tough to grow
Pros: - Promotion of work life balance
- Remote working arrangements are possible. On days where you can work from home, you are more than welcome to do so
- Co-workers are excellent and truly fun to be around
- Very smart coworkers who have had diverse experiences that you can learn from 
- Direct interaction with junior or senior partners. You can literally stroll in their office (knock first) and have a conversation with them and they are very receptive to coach you
- Senior leadership (in the Advisory Practice) is very receptive to feedback from staff members
- Formal coaching program
Cons: - The consulting mindset seems to encourage talking "fluff" and not delivering as much substance as I'd like to see
- Career development at lower levels though talked about is hard to see as much time is spent updating spreadsheets & presentation
- Too much emphasis is placed on "check the box" items as opposed to looking at accomplishments within a broader context
- Not enough focus on technical development at lower levels.
