Business Outlook

Pros

-On the job business training with Fortune 500 clients in key skills (communication, problem-solving, project managment, etc.) -Salary is as high as you can get in professional services (except for finance), and benefits are literally best you can get -Great work life-balance on most days (just make sure you get the right manager) -The exit options are great. The alumni network is extremely close. I have found all my subsequent jobs by leveraging this network.

Cons

-Your life depends on your manager, be sure not to choose wrong -People are perfectionist, you will get called out when your PPT boxes don't align
