Business Outlook
Pros
Employees generally enjoy a great work-life balance for a well-regarded consultancy. Career growth below the Sr. Associate level is largely employee-driven and thus there is a lot of flexibility to steer your career in the direction of your choice. There's no up-or-out system as exists with private-sector consultancies.
Cons
Given the nature of government consulting, projects can sometimes be slower-paced and long-term efforts (1 year or more)--as a result, many employees experience less variety in their work than they might otherwise like.
