Pros

Good working environment that challenges you both from an intellectual point of view as well as personal development. Some up or out mentality that is left over from the number of consultants that they hired in the past. Fairly strong leadership that cares about their associates and hence developed some very nice severance packages. Attempting to develop some stronger leadership from within, but there is a tendency to look at IQ versus EQ.

Cons

Too much focus and time on performance management. Easy to get a reputation...difficult to break it. Saw performance reviews that repeated the same development opportunity year over year. Difficult environment to get promoted in given the current and continuing reduction in workforce. Environment can produce an elitist attitude.

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
