Pros

Well-known consultants Good on the resume Gained experience within the first year. Almost no experience to be gained after the first year

Cons

It's all about profit regardless the work quality ! Several technical mistakes are covered behind fancy colorful reports No hope to raise to high or intermediate level management if you're relying on your work only. Network with the powerful and right people and you'll get promoted regardless your knowledge and skills

Pros

You will be working with great minds. People have their niches expertise and it’s wonderful to learn from them. Very professional and respectful behavior. Doesn’t feel like other consulting firms where you’re worked like a dog.

Cons

Sometimes it’s hard to build consistent work because people tend to hold on to their projects rather than transferring to junior staff and it’s mainly because the pressure to be billable is high.
