Pros

Sometimes the there are food scraps left in the staff kitchen from meetings and Partner breakfasts, which you can feast upon. Definitely some of my fondest memories from my time with this company.

Cons

Long hours, no work/life balance, unapproachable management, politics, very narrow career path for an engineer, boring and repetitive routine tasks. Evening and weekend work 6.5 days out of 7. You can feel yourself aging on a daily basis, and many of my co-workers looked 5 years older than they were.

Pros

A lot of smart people to learn from

Cons

A lot of people leave. Utilization is also a dumb metric now with how much money they are dumping into their AI. Work is getting done quicker, hence less hours are being charged even when busy. Margins are consistently up despite hours being down so I don't get the need for higher utilzation KPI's anymore. On top of that, managers make you "eat" your chargeable hours to stay within their very small budgets now too, so utilzation does not really reflect anything meaningful anymore. Commercial consultants work 1.5-2x more than federal consultants but federal consultants are usually 100% utilzed because they must use the full budget despite the work not taking as long/as stressful of deadlines.
