Business Outlook
Pros
Clients are typically top 3 in a given industry. Consultants do not specialize, but rather gain exposure to multiple industry sectors. The engagements are important and interesting, and individual performance is recognized based on merit. Pay is competitive, and post-Mars opportunities are bright. Travel requirements are minimal compared to most consulting firms.
Cons
Authoritarian, hierarchical culture of fear that permeates from the top. Anyone who can stomach this environment and for more than a few years tends to be somewhat twisted (there are exceptions). Face time and long hours in the office are the norm, which does not encourage being productive and getting your work done quickly.
