Pros

There are none that I can think of, other than to be off the streets.

Cons

Management is BEYOND inept; they are only there to sell 'services', Sr. Consultants and Consultants are then left to figure out how to best perform the services. However, there are NO resources provided to assist in completing audits or performing review of client processes. Management cannot be reached even by direct reports.

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.
