Pros

Amazing exposure to work and clients. There are not many places where you learn to manage projects, interact with clients and senior leadership, etc. Parts of the experience are incredible and invaluable in terms of providing value in the next role you take—so no regrets!

Cons

This place loves "make work" since it's a game of racking up hours and people on projects, so if you like to work efficiently, you might lose your mind. Talented people are not properly rewarded for their work and are driven to leave. Some leaders are amazing, but the executive team is a joke—a culture of popularity contests and gossip.
