Pros: It's a big corporate firm, so job security usually feels pretty solid. Especially for long-term project work in risk management, you don't worry about being laid off constantly. The benefits package is decent, too, which adds to that feeling of stability for consultant roles.
Cons: Career growth can be a bit slow in some areas, especially for junior roles if you're not proactive. Sometimes, there's a lot of red tape, and decisions take forever. The hybrid work model is fine, but it can be tough to build strong connections with remote teammates.
Advice to Management: Streamline approval processes to speed things up for financial services projects. Also, find ways to better integrate hybrid teams so everyone feels connected, not just in the Chicago office.

Pros: Honestly, for an Actuarial Analyst, job security felt pretty solid. It's a huge company, a real large corporate player in the risk management space. Plenty of internal movement and opportunities if your project shifts.
Cons: They do reorganize teams often, which can feel a bit up in the air sometimes. The broader insurance brokerage market has its ups and downs too, so it's not always totally stable.
Advice to Management: Communicate changes more clearly, especially department-wide shifts. More transparency helps with job security concerns.

Pros: I've learned a ton as an Associate Consultant, especially getting into the risk management industry. You meet some really smart people here. Plus, the hybrid work model for our team in Chicago is solid, giving some flexibility.
Cons: The company culture can feel pretty old-school, very corporate sometimes. There's not always a consistent vibe across departments, it really depends on your direct team. It can be tough when project demands push work-life balance out the window.
Advice to Management: Focus on standardizing the positive aspects of the company culture across all business units. Invest more in leadership training to ensure consistency in management styles and better support for work-life balance.
