Pros

I think it's one of the best consultancies in terms of level of support and help, clarifications, maybe even salary because it's so big. The contract is renegotiated after a year, and they always answer questions promptly. They run great events, which I wish I had more opportunities to attend. Perhaps the plus point of being a consultancy is that if you don't like the project or want to change for some other reason, in this case you don't see the possibility of growth within the company, etc? It's possible, your manager can speed up the process so that you can move on to another project.

Cons

It's a consultancy so, part of your pay (a large part, I believe) goes to them and you end up with a package deal that they offer to the employee they bring in from another country (pay attention, there's a fine if you leave before the end of the contract). The cost of living isn't high for food etc., but housing, be prepared, is very high. So it gets complicated, in my case specifically, I paid off all my debts so I could take this step, but save money for unforeseen events, because if they happen, there won't be much left of your salary because the salary in Portugal is lower than in nearby countries and because, once again, it's a consultancy. Recibos verdes, or green receipts, are a great initial option because you can pay as a non-habitual resident and receive a discount, but you still have discounts because the tax in Europe on earnings is high, and there is little net money left over. Be careful with the contract you're entering into, if they require you to go to the office many times a week in person, you'll have to bear the costs of food and transportation, negotiate this with your manager, she can reimburse your travel expenses, but not food, that's up to you. Talk and ask, it's not a bad job, there are some very good people there.

Pros

Office culture is good. Colleagues are friendly and helpful. Mid-level management are accessible. Physical environment is limited to what the client provides. Not always the most efficient way of supporting the client.

Cons

Focus entirely on client requirements and processes are designed to suit this need. Not enough thought has been put into how the teams manage their work.
