Pros

- The people. Majority of hires coming from the Big 4 were great additions to the team. The Managing Partners had a "no jerk policy" where they would only give the thumbs up for someone they would happily share a beer with. - PTO policy is above the US average (although below other comparable countries). - Come here if you want to give your brain a vacation. Alot of the jobs are secondments. No real consulting involved - clock in and clock out with minimal responsibility

Cons

- Pay is below market rate. You will be sold on the "intangibles" but there are none. Internationals are told that their compensation package includes the relocation/visa fees to get you to the US, but the following years salary does not reflect this amount. - Professional Development doesn't exist here. If you are looking to grow and upskill, you are at the wrong place. Leadership don't care about your career goals - dont be surprised if you are pulled into a different service line - Weak local leadership. Don't expect to pick up any softskills here. - Perception is everything here. It is not enough to do a good job, you need to be seen to be doing it. If you are put on a client where you report directly to the client (and not CCC leadership) you are unlikely to be recognized for your efforts. - Politics - you have to drink the cool-aide - The caliber of client can seem impressive, but the quality of the work you are doing is not. Leadership appear to struggle to convert leads into actual sales. You will always hear about a great pipeline, but have yet to see it materialize. - No diversity in leadership

Pros

The partners are nice, the directors are not, and most of the projects they sell are more suitable for contractors or loan staff then actual consulting. Their only consulting gig is with Freddie Mac. On paper they have great values.

Cons

Very cliquey and they will under- reward and under-promote you if you let them get away with it. Their directors ( and MD's) really don't care about their people. The types of projects they have are not challenging.

Full of Fluff

Pros

Some really sharp people work here, and depending on your team, you can have a very fulfilling experience on client work. Some of the legacy folk still carry the culture that made this place years ago. There is also a sense of work life balance.

Cons

This firm has bent the knee to their PE owners. Revenue, metrics and charge hours are continually shoved in our face every chance leadership gets. They have heavily dialed back on consultant compensation in favor of hiring very expensive partners and directors. Town halls are filled with false positivity and overall fluff. It was charming years ago when culture and morale were high, now it just seems disingenuous.
