Cons
Promotion opportunities can be limited at senior levels Some employees mention fewer advancement opportunities once you reach higher positions. Occasional long hours While many praise work-life balance, some reviews—particularly from interns and project-based teams—report periods of long working hours. Potential lack of fresh perspectives One recurring observation is that employee retention is very high, which can sometimes lead to less diversity of thought and slower organizational change. Some projects may be less exciting than expected Discussions from candidates and employees suggest that consultancy work can occasionally involve routine or less innovative client projects.
