Pros

Pay is pretty competitive; nice office and location; good benefits; general autonomy on a day-to-day-basis as long as you get the work done

Cons

There's a lot of work; a stay-late + face-time culture; work ranges from very dull to somewhat dull; not collaborative typically (mostly work alone all day); consultants don't seem to be too happy/talk too much (however admin groups typically seem quite happy); work hard/go home environment than work hard/play hard; overall it's a job so what can you expect, but I wouldn't expect it to be much more than that despite what HR (who are amazing by the way) may say in the first week's training
