What I liked

The nature of the company provides tremendous opportunity to learn about the public sector consulting process from Requests for Proposal to final deliverables. I particularly liked the solidarity managers and senior staff provided with regards to career progression. The Founder/CEO's focus on continuous growth creates a welcoming space for creative thinkers and problem solvers. I think MFR is a great place to start a consulting career.

I was given a lot of creative freedom and responsibility to produce valuable work for the firm and their clients. I was able to present my thoughts freely and was not stifled in any way. The team was constantly offering advice and would take the time to teach me skills that I did not have. Also, the agile nature of the firm kept me consistently busy with interesting work and opportunities to learn about the true nature of consulting. In my opinion, this was a great place to work.
