Pros

Good mid tier consultant firms that places a strong emphasis on long-term client relationships not just winning work and then going to the next client. Best to work for them in McLean the other offices are very challenging and treated as step children.

Cons

Career path, behind in their approach, knowledge sharing is laptop based, direction of the firm very reactive except in the defense space and senior levels are based upon relationships and talk not performance.

Pros

1. Probably the leading "second tier" strategy consultancy, with projects in a range of areas (e.g. strategy, marketing, operations) 2. Colleagues are more down to earth than at their main competitors (McKinsey, BCG and Bain) 3. Certain senior leaders in particular, can be impressive (a remnant of the early 80s when Booz was slightly higher in the overall strategy consulting "ranking" at leading MBA schools due to Bain's problems at that time)

Cons

1. Normal consulting downsides apply - hours tend to be high (60 plus would be normal and 70-80 often the norm) and travel is frequently Mon-Thurs at the client, necessitating a 5am start Mon and not returning till late Thursday evening 2. Industry coverage in certain sectors can be lower than some competitors due to a lack of critical mass in part resulting from problems re-establishing the practice areas following the dot com boom and senior staff defections 3. Brand and alumni network are slightly below the main competitors (McKinsey, Bain and BCG) - this could matter if (like most consultants) you wish to spend a couple of years there and then move on
