Pros

Amazing learning opportunities, voted 'best to work for' for years in a row now, great comp structure (no healthcare premium for example)

Cons

work/life balance obviously - this is a consulting job after all. Depending on the project and leadership, you will work an effective 50 to 80+ hours/week, with most probably around 60 hours. Note that self-training, expense report and travel are on top of that

Pros

Wonderful work environment and supporting team for consulting staffs. You get to work with top notch talents solving interesting client problems.

Cons

Focus mainly on Fortune 500, dealing with lots of management/operations issues for these companies; much less so on strategy, which had gone in-house for many clients. Very few innovation-type opportunities

Pros

Rapid business education that forces you to be structured, rigorous, and nimble in thinking. Broad range of projects from consumer insight, healthcare, and even academic partnership.

Cons

Very few role models at Partner level and above. Was repeatedly forced to choose between work and family - caused me much personal consternation with myself and decisions.
