Pros
The people you work with are great s, and the training and experience is unparallelled.
Cons
The company is very strict about billable time, and making sure everyone is working at least 9 hours a day (Somerville). As a consultant, you'll be competing the same plans and reports multiple times over for different clients - the overall workload is very repetitive. Upward mobility in the consulting group is presented as a structured process based on each person's training, knowledge and performance. In practice, moving up in the group is based on how long you've been at the company, regardless of performance, and personal relationships. Compensation is below average considering the hours you are expected to work each day, and the deep technical expected of each employee. Direct management varies between a few highly knowledgeable managers with extensive professional experience, and managers who have climbed the Triumvirate ladder without getting any outside perspective. If you're getting into the group, learn who is a quality resource and who just drinks the kool-aid, and make sure you know who's calling the shots.
