• Analytically inclined and enjoy solving problems.
• Able to prioritize and are a doer by nature.
• 5+ years of experience in your chosen field.

• Comprehensive medical insurance for employees and their families.
• Non-partner equity-based awards (for consulting managers and above).
• Structured and on-the-job learning and development opportunities.
