Great for Associates

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Huge amount of responsibility given to Associates- prove you belong there and they'll keep giving you more to do Learn on the job- practical expertise in working with companies versus sitting around in trainings

Cons

Associate to Consultant stagnation - skill set of first year Consultant is same as second year Associate. If you're a top performer you will likely feel like you're spinning your wheels until you get project management experience as a C2. Office disparity- the good offices are great. The not so good ones are bound by global bureaucracy and salesmanship rather than creative thinking and office pride

Incredible opportunity

Business Outlook

Pros

- High impact projects: in some cases, truly world-altering topics (more for public sector but true throughout) - Excellent compensation and perks - Outstanding colleagues; best and the brightest from all fields / backgrounds (think Rhodes scholars) create a really rich intellectual atmosphere

Cons

- Work-life balance can be challenging with the travel, as with all top firms, but leadership seems to truly care and is driving a number of initiatives to make things more manageable

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
