Pros

Pay is commensurate with what you would expect at a large consulting firm

Cons

Mostly focused on sourcing A complete waste of career path for a top-flight MBA graduate. The work is not exactly cutting edge Who you suck up to matters more than what you know. Considered a 3rd rate management consulting firm, which I did not find out soon enough. Managers are applauded for working people half to death.
