Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear that you have enjoyed many of the great things about our firm over the past 3+ years, including the interesting, challenging and rewarding work assignments, working with high profile clients, and the opportunity to celebrate and network with your colleagues. Over the past year we have piloted an enhanced approach to performance management based on employee feedback. We are continuing to refine this process for 2018 based on feedback from the pilot to increase transparency, simplify the process where possible, and ensure that it remains robust and fair. For this reason, we have maintained our roundtable process, which means that all individuals receive a fair evaluation. Multiple stakeholders give input into an individual's assessment to remove the possibility for bias, and individuals are also benchmarked against their peers in these sessions. If you have any questions about the process, or further suggestions for enhancing this please reach out to your HR Representative or Coach to discuss.

Pros

Varied client work — Different clients and project types, which keeps things interesting. Real project mobility — You can move between projects when you advocate for yourself (within reason). Approachable leadership — Senior leaders are open to conversations if you reach out. Good development resources — Plenty of training and growth opportunities if you take advantage of them. Strong teams — Colleagues are smart, capable, and great to work with. Entrepreneurial environment — New ideas are encouraged, and there’s room to take initiative.

Cons

Long hours vary by project — Like most any professional job, some engagements require extended hours for prolonged periods, but work–life balance really depends on the client and team. Additional internal responsibilities — Depending on level, there can be a significant amount of firm‑support work outside of client delivery. Domain alignment not guaranteed — You may not always be staffed on projects that match your domain expertise. Coaching alignment constraints — Coaching relationships are tied to domain, which limits flexibility in choosing formal mentors. Long engagements (sometimes) — Some projects run for long durations or through multiple extensions. It can provides stability but may reduce variety in client and project experience depending on what you’re looking for.
