      Pros

      Well respected company, looks really good on your resume, thrown right into the engagements and are asked to perform meaningful work right away. Starting at this company opens doors for workers, lots of potential to network and get your name out there. Its sort of like going to a great college, your not guaranteed success, put it sure pushed you in the right direction

      Cons

      Long long hours, but everyone already knows that, still hard to take sometimes. While money is good, when actually looked at on a per hour basis, its not that impressive. Commutes suck.

      Pros

      A lot of smart people to learn from

      Cons

      A lot of people leave. Utilization is also a dumb metric now with how much money they are dumping into their AI. Work is getting done quicker, hence less hours are being charged even when busy. Margins are consistently up despite hours being down so I don't get the need for higher utilzation KPI's anymore. On top of that, managers make you "eat" your chargeable hours to stay within their very small budgets now too, so utilzation does not really reflect anything meaningful anymore. Commercial consultants work 1.5-2x more than federal consultants but federal consultants are usually 100% utilzed because they must use the full budget despite the work not taking as long/as stressful of deadlines.
