Pros
Sia Partners is a fast-growing and innovative company. Senior Management has a clear grasp of market trends and great strategic foresight. During my time at the company, it has expanded into multiple new markets / areas and launched exciting new initiatives (i.e. Consulting 4.0) to meet the demands of tomorrow. The U.S. practice specifically has very talented individuals at all levels. There is a constant stream of projects, so consultants will never be on the bench for an extended period of time. Management is extremely accessible, and consultants at all levels will often get the opportunity to work with them on client and/or internal initiatives. Perhaps one of best aspects is the fact that management allows you to define and shape your role within the company, and encourages employees of all levels / experience to take ownership and responsibility of company projects / initiatives. This is a great opportunity for those who are ambitious and looking to grow.
Cons
Currently, the U.S. practice primarily focuses on projects within the banking / financial services verticals (i.e. Risk Management, Compliance, IT / Cybersecurity, Regulatory Reporting, Stress testing, Loan Operations, etc.), although it is very much in the process of expanding its capabilities.
