[quote=Anonymous]Completely depends on the part of the company, the client/market, and his career aspirations.  It's a 25,000 person company which does everything from commercial strategic consulting to healthcare to lots and lots of government work and IT work.

I have friends and colleagues who want to be upwardly mobile who work tons of hours both billing and then doing proposal and marketing work on top of that.  Since I'm in the defense market, we rarely travel as in maybe once a year, if that.  I have chosen a career path not leading to partnership so I work my billable hours in a fairly stable marketplace and go home.  Client contract doesn't allow teleworking, which is annoying, but also has caps on the amount of billable hours so I pretty much do my 8hrs a day and that's it.  Far cry from the stereotypical life of a strategy consultant!

Feelings about the company are definitely mixed these days, and satisfaction rates are way down.  Compensation packages aren't what they were both in terms of salary but also things like healthcare and 401K.  It's still a good place to work, for the most part, but it's not the heyday of epic money-making that it once was.[/quote]
