Pros

Brand: even if you worked in Research, you can leverage the brand.

Cons

The team in India operates in isolation, no direct opportunities to work on client projects (unlike competitors). Most management at India research unit have spent 10-15 years doing the same stuff, year after year, so are not open to ideas. Most good performers leave after 2 years whereas the politicians stay on so over time, its just the inefficient, petty people who have remained and by virtue of tenure sit at the top.

Pros

A great place to learn and grow on fast exciting challenging projects Some realty great team members / strong team culture in the lower ranks

Cons

Work life balance is only spoken off, it is not taken seriously. When times get very busy (which is pretty much all the time) it is always explained as "strategic", I challenge any firm where 100% of what they do is strategic - on average you can expect to work between 70 - 80 hours per week which is simply unsustainable. Personal aspects will suffer such as friends and family Poor leadership behaviour is swept under the mat when looking at winning work and sales which is sadly a short term view

Pros

Pay is commensurate with what you would expect at a large consulting firm

Cons

Mostly focused on sourcing A complete waste of career path for a top-flight MBA graduate. The work is not exactly cutting edge Who you suck up to matters more than what you know. Considered a 3rd rate management consulting firm, which I did not find out soon enough. Managers are applauded for working people half to death.
