Pros

Good entry level job. Good work-life balance as you will have lots of free time.

Cons

Super political environment. If you ride the wrong line, you will have a hard time. Non-relevant projects will be assigned to consultants. Project reviews given by senior managers will negatively impact your career. Feedback does not consider the consultant's prior and current experience leading to negative reviews. Underpaid consultants, overpaid managers. Tons of consultants on the bench at a time.

Pros

Good Culture, decent pay, not overworked too much.

Cons

Repetitive, meaningless, and boring work, hard to pivot out of this career once started. Also, the consulting career feels like such a fake job at times. Doesn't feel like real work. Makes you question your life decisions. I'd recommend any college grads to think about their future career goals first before joining. I joined on a whim and wish I spent more time interviewing. It's been incredibly difficult to pivot out of internal audit and sox compliance once you are in it. However, if you are really good at corporate politics and advocating for yourself you may be able to pivot out of the IAFA solution . However, not sure how that lends it self if you want to leave the company.
