Every market has its own nuances, but on the whole

* very entrepreneurial and “choose your own adventure” career progression. No up or out, no real “paths” or cohorts. Some people stay a “consultant” for 20 years, some work up to MD within 10.

* WLB depends on your client still, but no flying unless you’re cross-market, so most nights you’re home for dinner. We care a lot about our people and their personal lives

* Salary lags competition, primarily because of the above 2 points. We don’t formally have “bands.” In general expect the offer to be below B4/similar in pure $$. We get a lot of ex-Accenture, Deloitte, EY SMs that want to get off the road and start a family

I would agree with most of the above with one clarification. Your initial base salary will most likely be competitive. (I got about a 20% bump when I joined.) However, because you won't be getting regular promotions (no up or out), you will just get regular COLA raises around 2-3% per year. Even our merit raises typically don't get above 5%.

So, your salary level will eventually degrade over time.
