Pros

There are a lot of opportunities to grow professionally through trainings the company puts on. There is a rigid hierarchy, so when you are starting out you are always reviewed by your seniors which allows for ample opportunities for feedback and to learn from others. The company is very strict (e.g. corrects phrasing in emails, calls out technical mistakes in front of peers), but it is great experience for someone entering the workforce.

Cons

There is no work life balance at FTI. People are constantly told to be "on call" on the weekend. We always get work when management finishes reviewing it - which is usually at/around 5/6 PM each day. Management expects weekend calls/work and have requested we cancel PTO on numerous occasions. It is also a boys club - only real mentorship happens with the men. There are often (likely unintended) sexist comments.

Pros

* Strong brand recognition and an impressive roster of clients and projects. * Opportunity to work with talented colleagues across multiple business segments. * Exposure to a fast-paced environment that provides significant professional growth and learning opportunities.

Cons

* Lack of consistent leadership visibility and clear strategic direction across parts of the organization. * Communication from senior leadership can be limited, leaving employees without a clear understanding of priorities and long-term goals. * Decision-making often feels reactive rather than proactive. * Accountability and partnership are inconsistent across teams and business segments. * Employees may not always feel adequately supported when raising concerns or navigating challenging situations. * Leadership teams are often stretched thin, which can impact coaching, communication, and overall employee support. * Performance evaluation and promotion processes can lack transparency, making it difficult to understand how decisions are made. * Employee experiences can vary significantly depending on team, manager, and business segment. * Opportunities for feedback exist, but employees do not always see meaningful action taken in response to recurring concerns. * Collaboration and cross-functional alignment can be challenging at times due to differing priorities and expectations.
