Empty promises from management.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Friendly coworkers - Out of Big 4, they seem to care about work life balance more - Good hours (in Risk Consulting) - Great benefits (25 days PTO, 401k matching) - Good training (especially for data programs if you take advantage)

Cons

- You are just a number. They will put you where they need you, irrespective of your skills and interests. - Partners become protective of resources - Utilization is #1 metric of your worth - Salary increases dependent on firm's performance, better to increase your base by going elsewhere then boomeranging back
