Pros
Good quality of work - interesting client challenges, CxO level exposure Excellent, collegiate colleagues - the collaborative business experience also applies internally Supportive of career development and stretch roles in areas that match your interest Performance & Development is transparent and consistently applied to focus on future development - open feedback culture that everyone buys into
Kontras
Low pay - for comparable grades in the industry CC underpays Promotion criteria vary between practices and, critically, practice heads - does your face fit rather than whether you have demonstrated competence in the grade above High attrition rates Dilution of strategy capability - leads to not always having the client exec's ear as other firms shape their strategy and CC risks being pushed down the value chain into an implementation house
