Pros

Pros include: - Great for CV - Well designed frameworks and methodologies -- you'll learn a lot if you put time in - Generally, cordial and friendly work environment with lots of perks (e.g. free lunches, happy hour, social, etc) - Good compensation / benefits

Cons

My comments reflect working specifically in the Knowledge Practice which is neither Support Services nor Consulting. - Massive reorgs going on -- job changes, eliminations, etc - New more consultant-like job requirements (time, expertise, pressure to bill), same pay - Limited optionality for career growth in KT unless you want to leave and go somewhere else or go into consulting at BCG - Massively hierarchical (nearly draconian) management style of KT Management -- tremendous layers thick with political drama, favoritism and croneyism

Pros

Very smart peers, high impact work, opportunity to work on a variety of projects, incredible exit opportunities, great pay. You'll overall learn a tremendous amount, working with some of the smartest in business.

Cons

Very long and unpredictable hours, very fast pace, sometimes political. Overall, be ready to work very hard, with a great deal of last minute / very fast moving work.
