Pros

Bright co-workers provide a stimulating enviroment Intellectually interesting assigments across multiple topics Ability to work on international assignments Attractive salary when compared to industry

Cons

You are expected to be available 24/7 Theoretically the projects are scoped such that the workload is reasonable, but in practice this often does not hold as the true content of the project is defined as it develops Large variance in the mentoring skill of more senior members

Pros

Great place to learn about business basics

Cons

The company hasn't kept up with changing times in the industry. Consultants need to be very politically astute to succeed. Senior leadership looks at employees as "factors of production".
