Pros

1. A slightly laid back culture for consulting - good for someone who does not want to work in a fast paced consulting world 2. Good pay at the time of joining

Cons

1. The quality of projects is not so good. Most of the projects at the Analyst level are delivery-driven projects and not consulting per se. The projects under this role require you to act as PMO/ Scrum Master/ BA etc. 2. The growth in terms of pay is quite less as compared to other consulting companies, with them also not giving any salary hikes in some years. 3. Bonus payout is also quite low as compared to the total Bonus on offer letter(essentially 50% of the Bonus amount for good performance review) 4. Promotion cycle is too slow as compared to other consulting companies. Others have promotion cycle of 1-2 years from Analyst to Consultant(or with similar titles). Here it is generally 3 years. But for some it may take 3.5 - 4 years. Also know few people who have been Analyst for 4+ years without promotion.

Pros

There are opportunities to drive your career in the ways you want to expand. There is a possibility to receive training.

Cons

Lots of networking required. You can be on projects 8 years straight and come off a project at the wrong time and be let go almost immediately.
