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

If you’re fresh out of school and don’t have a specific skill and don’t know what to do, and you’re willing to be a yes man then yes it might be a good place to figure out your next step.

Cons

- Lack of pipeline for certain practices (and they will blame that on you saying your utilization is low but there’s nothing you can do at an associate level) - Full of people that feel good about themselves but they actually knows nothing about how actual industry work - No talent - Management will give you vague feedback that you can’t act on, For example, I got asked to “elevate the deck” but when I asked is it the messaging or is it the format etc they can’t give me anything specific - The expectation on work quality is inconsistent - Some manager level people can’t do excel which is shocking - You need to be a people pleaser in order to get promoted
