Pros

opportunity to work with smart people on interesting large scale - high impact projects. your success is tied to 90% to performance. I feel like it is a well managed ethical company that I am proud to work for.

Cons

there is definately a "luck" and "timing" factor to which projects and adminstrative managers you are assigned to at first and this may impact the rate/pace at which you can move up organization. It can be frustrating that it is out of your control to an extent. There is also a huge division with McLean and other offices -- and people who work full time on client site and people that are in McLean.

Understand carefully what the firm does and what your position will be

Business Outlook

Pros

1- Government and non-profit exposure 2- Lots of different projects available 3- Teams are generally collaborative 4- Pretty much 9-5 job

Cons

1- No real consulting work 2- No building of skills - There is really no real skills they help you build. The online courses are good but really don't go far enough. 3- No strategy work - If you are thinking you will do strategy work there really isnt any here. Mostly process or ops based work. Lots of staff augmentation type projects. 4- Lack of incentives - there are no bonuses for associates who lead teams. There seems to be even a higher degree of disconnect when the firm was splitting.
