Pros

- Amazing and very smart people who are always willing to help - No a-type crazy competitive consultants - Very intellectually stimulating work - Great geographic coverage and mobility - Very flat organization and meritocracy driven work culture - Very comprehensive and transparent review process - Significantly less travel vs. other consulting firms - Better than industry average retention

Cons

- A lot of focus on healthcare (not a Con for me but may be for some) - Focus on sales and marketing issues - strategic as well as operational (again - good for some but may be restrictive) - This is consulting - so wake up and face the reality - you are not going home at 5 pm everyday!

Work hours can be quite taxing - as is expected in consulting.
