Pros

There are good benefits/pay compared to other consulting firms; A fast learning curve is the only method here.

Cons

Very cliquey; if you're in the clique, you're a star; otherwise, you're a scar. Be prepared when on a project to be overworked until your last breath. ESG Project managers have little faith in the team and their ability to execute and are saying yes to the client's wildest requests for free. The only way to grow is through selling new projects or extensions, and no help is given to people outside the clique to be in a position to make sales.

Pros

Varied client work — Different clients and project types, which keeps things interesting. Real project mobility — You can move between projects when you advocate for yourself (within reason). Approachable leadership — Senior leaders are open to conversations if you reach out. Good development resources — Plenty of training and growth opportunities if you take advantage of them. Strong teams — Colleagues are smart, capable, and great to work with. Entrepreneurial environment — New ideas are encouraged, and there’s room to take initiative.

Cons

Long hours vary by project — Like most any professional job, some engagements require extended hours for prolonged periods, but work–life balance really depends on the client and team. Additional internal responsibilities — Depending on level, there can be a significant amount of firm‑support work outside of client delivery. Domain alignment not guaranteed — You may not always be staffed on projects that match your domain expertise. Coaching alignment constraints — Coaching relationships are tied to domain, which limits flexibility in choosing formal mentors. Long engagements (sometimes) — Some projects run for long durations or through multiple extensions. It can provides stability but may reduce variety in client and project experience depending on what you’re looking for.
