Pros

The consulting projects are great learning experiences and interesting.

Cons

Three major cons: 1) Lack of work life balance 2) Some of the consultants were pretty nasty and unprofessional. I would get calls at 11 pm ET asking me to finish projects by 2 am ET, believing this was acceptable practice. 3) Not a strategy management consultant shop. One person told me that the firm is a strategy consulting firm. They are not. I worked for a strategy consulting firm before. Completely different work, project economics and system set up.

Pros

There were no pros that I know of.

Cons

The company would set the maximum hours allowed on a specific publication project, and that cap was always insufficient, so the freelancer would be expected to work for free, despite scope creep. Also, timelines were unreasonably short. Poor communication with management meant things took longer than they should have. I left after one project.
