Pros

-good community of junior staff

Cons

-very inconsistent management styles, many managers lack good management skills as they are hired for their PhD, not actually their ability to manage projects/staff -a lot of repetitive, menial work -long hours, very inconsistent/last minute requirements of junior staff's time and not a good bonus structure that would actually allow you to be compensated for this -despite what the company may make you think, not great exit opportunities for other jobs as economic consulting is a very niche industry that most people have never heard of
