Pros

-Culture / great coworkers and managers, hands down -Consulting leadership is protective of Consultants. For instance, they may ask why you are not taking vacation time if you have a lot left toward the end of the 3rd quarter, to make sure that project managers are not pressuring you not to take them. Even though I have never seen EMs do that, the h igher up asking me such a question makes me feel that the company actually means to offer vacation time -Engagement Managers and MDs have great people skills and encourage you to learn and grow by taking the risk of giving you challenging work -No weekly traveling for most of the year -Low employee turnover rate despite the fact that I work in consulting -They take work-life balance seriously

Cons

-Skills training, other than training that all new hires go through, would be nice. -The starting salary for MBAs is on the low side compared to other firms that also do not require constant traveling.
