Pros

Good support, nice people if you are in the right group. Good network, lots of offices. Good amount of work. Learns a lot

Cons

Long hours, draining work. Feels like churning the way people are always hired and leave. If you have a bad group led by a bad partner, work will be very stressful

Pros

Good coworkers and supervisors. Billable work environments tend to be the same in terms of monotony, so it helps to have a good team.

Cons

Billable hours aren't the most fun thing in the world. Huge caseload.
