Pros

People, experience, some of the benefits package. You work with other people like yourself, and you work at major clients. It can be challenging and fun at the same time. There are always opportunities to make working a more valuable learning experience, while also working with smart individuals who generally like to have fun. The assortment of clients and work demand can also take you to different cities (and many times different countries), which can be exciting opportunities for those interested in that sort of thing. Additionally, starting a job there with 25 days of PTO is very compelling for those who like to use it.

Cons

Performance evaluation always forced awkward ratings and the perception (and sometimes reality) of unfair assessments. Work/Life balance was an afterthought at some clients. Project situations will always differ from client to client, but I feel like this could be managed better to keep people from working very many weekends.

Pros

The work is generally challenging and most of the people are great to work with. It looks great on the CV and the pay is normally pretty good, although this can vary depending on whether you get a duff review.

Cons

No work - life balance. They expect you to earn your money, so you'll spend an awful lot of time at the office and probably a lot of time away from home. The laddering system used for performance ratings can be very hit and miss. You can find yourself getting a good ratings for not doing a great deal one minute and then very average ratings for working your arse off the next - depending on the project you're on. For promotions there is a real emphasis on time at level as opposed to whether people are actually any good or not. I've seen people who are extremely average get promoted ahead of others that are much better but haven't yet served their "time". At the more senior levels the Senior Execs can start treating you like a dormat.
