Pros
Pay is good Some colleagues are awesome
Cons
Egocentric consulting firm - led by immature consultants who are promoted for their great slide-making abilities but who are inept at people management; I generalize as there really are a few gems, but they seem to leave/get pushed out leaving the Prima Donnas behind Up or out culture - leads to backstabbing behaviour by some colleagues to try and get ahead of others by putting them down behind their backs in the hopes that they get let go first; especially true in the current economic climate Highly political and toxic - blame always going downwards with responsibility never taken by leadership, name-calling by leaders, negative feedback is almost universally in areas which are highly subjective while positive feedback is rarely given Poor work/life balance - this is expected in consulting, some nights may only get three hours of sleep
