It was a good place to jump-start a career, but the culture and growth opportunities were too limited to stay much longer than a year or two.

What did you like most about the interview process?

The people seemed to genuinely care.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Compensation is lower than other management consulting firms, especially for those with higher degrees.

What are some of the best things about your team?

The consulting staff are some of the most intelligent and fun people I have had the pleasure of working with.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

There is a lot of wasted time on work that does not matter. Engagements are understaffed and posturing is too high.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Managing Directors need to act professionally, especially on the west coast. All levels of consultants need to be given opportunities to grow and interact with clients, rather than hierarchically being relegated to grunt work.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

The managing directors care more about lining their own pockets than reducing churn of the consulting staff. They would do well to increase compensation to industry standards, implement true opportunities for professional growth, and marginally improve work-life balance.
