Pros

I guess the pay?

Cons

Don't let anyone lie to you...this is a glorified staff aug company. At first I though maybe I was just caught on a bad account but quickly realized that everyone in the entire company is trying to either leave the firm all together or get staffed on another project. And good luck voicing you want to leave the account...if you do you might as well kiss any chance at a promotion goodbye due to the fact that the partner team you leave will not give a crap about you. All they want is warm bodies in seats to bill out...I was on an account where everyone was bored as hell and it was such a toxic environment. If you like RAG status updates and doing boring busy work, then this is the place for you. Sr. Mgmt is about as inept as it can get...was very, very lucky to get out and into something that will actually help my career.

Pros

Varied client work — Different clients and project types, which keeps things interesting. Real project mobility — You can move between projects when you advocate for yourself (within reason). Approachable leadership — Senior leaders are open to conversations if you reach out. Good development resources — Plenty of training and growth opportunities if you take advantage of them. Strong teams — Colleagues are smart, capable, and great to work with. Entrepreneurial environment — New ideas are encouraged, and there’s room to take initiative.

Cons

Long hours vary by project — Like most any professional job, some engagements require extended hours for prolonged periods, but work–life balance really depends on the client and team. Additional internal responsibilities — Depending on level, there can be a significant amount of firm‑support work outside of client delivery. Domain alignment not guaranteed — You may not always be staffed on projects that match your domain expertise. Coaching alignment constraints — Coaching relationships are tied to domain, which limits flexibility in choosing formal mentors. Long engagements (sometimes) — Some projects run for long durations or through multiple extensions. It can provides stability but may reduce variety in client and project experience depending on what you’re looking for.
