Good place to learn but you will work hard

Pros

Very intelligent coworkers. A good variety of work is available, but good luck getting on the projects you want to work on.

Cons

Lack of control over the type of projects you complete. Hours depend on the project and who you are reporting to, but generally long hours with some managers expecting you to work over the weekend. Consultants are expected to work at the client site 4 days a week which leads to unnecessary travel at points during the project.

Pros

Exposure to cutting edge management technology/ ideas You learn to become efficient at what you do Exposure to CXO level individuals in client organization You learn to become an effective communicator, facilitator and interviewer

Cons

Work days are VERY LONG. On some projects, I used to work from 8am to 1am weekdays and another 10 hours each Saturday and Sunday. Everytime I would think, I will put in the hours on this project, hoping that the next would be better, but the next project would often times be the same In order to progress you need to kiss ass BIG TIME. over time, often it is the consultants that kiss ass that progress fast, over consultants that are sharper, and more analytically gifted but don't engage in kissing ass. as a result, most teams are managed by managers and principals who do not have a firm grasp of the subject matter, and as a result everyone under them suffers. these incompetent managers and principals are always under pressure and resort to nastiness as a means to control their subordinates
