Pros

Fast promotion, high raises and better projects only if you are "buddies" with people in Director level or above. There is no real structure, which means there isn't one person you have to report to. It depends on the project. So You can choose who to work with, assuming that the person is also interested in working with you.

Cons

If you are not "buddies" with the right people then you will not enjoy working at FTI. If you are a Contractor, then you get treated badly (no respect, ignored, etc). Sometimes a person at the level above you can request to work with you, and you have no say (or perhaps afraid to say no for fear of getting on someone's bad side) in working or not working with the person.

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.
