Pros

It was a good place to work, but much better place to put in CV... In Budapest office, there were fairly big projects with relatively good professional content.

Cons

Bad management quality in terms of employee management always put a strong burden on us. I was a student there, that was a part time job. Although I prepared everything they asked me to do, they did not offer me anything after one year. At the time I was there 13 people of the 20 pofessional staff was replaced in 2 months. I believe that is not ordinary. There was no career path.

Pros

A great training ground. Teaches you early in your career to distill most business problems to the essential issues. In theory it can give you exposure to a variety of industries, although people often get pigeonholed in industries they happen to have worked in before. Very nice salary, bright and committed colleagues.

Cons

Grueling travel commitments as in all big consulting firms. Projects are sometimes ill-conceived and poorly planned (a partner basically sold (oversold) a project wihout having any idea of what we were getting into or even whether this was really necessary.
