Business Outlook
Pros
Really entrepreneurial, so you can still "get something done" if you have a good idea and some dedication. You get paid very well, and the whole group of people from consultants to partners is incredibly intelligent. The culture of learning on the job gets everyone involved, and pulls you up in terms of capabilities.
Cons
Often end up specialising too early, so get less of the broad industry and strategic background. There are a lot of long projects, that require weekly travel. It becomes the norm to be shuttling back and forth (Monday to Thursday) from the client location. Demands on time can be extreme, especially when you are away from home so often and are being asked to contribute to firm-wide activities on the side.
