Pros
Potential for advancement, respected organization, good benefits
Cons
Have to curry favor with the right people to get ahead, lip service to work/life balance. You'll get tons of PTO, but if you're in Consulting you'll get penalized if you take it. The only thing anyone cares about is your utilization (percentage of hours billable to client projects), and it's calculated with a denominator of 2080 hours. If you take any time off, you have to "make it up" before or after, otherwise you'll have no shot of hitting your target. Why give me 35 days of PTO each year if I can't possibly use it without losing my job as a result?
