Pros

EM consulting roles fit in between a lot of the extremes of other types of jobs. It's not a back-office quant job, but it's not a front-office customer support job either, it's an in-between role with a lot of the benefits of both. You become a technical expert in the accounting, finance, coding, and compensation realms, and also learn a lot about the soft skills of client management. It's also a good in-between pace where it's not the 90-hour weeks of investment banking, but also not the slow career growth you might see in larger, slower-paced companies, and instead offers good growth at a more sustainable pace.

Cons

It's not for everyone, and the pros can be cons as well. Blending front-office and back-office skills means the learning curve is very steep, and you can be pulled in multiple directions at once sometimes. While the hours aren't like i-banking, there are busy and intense times of year like in any professional services job.

Pros

Very early in your career you are exposed complex problems and business decisions that flexes analytical and soft skill sets. The job is not for someone who is looking for clearly defined responsibilities and steps to do the job. It provides lot of freedom and flexibility to come up with novel ideas and solutions. The management encourages people to develop new skills and gain new exposure points. Management is big on feedback and supports you to explore your interests. Great culture with a flat organizational structure. Senior management hang out with new associates regularly and take them out for lunch to appreciate the good work. The skill sets developed at equity methods is a lifelong asset that helps you in career advancement.

Cons

The company is growing at a very fast pace which sometimes gives an unsettling feeling. This just proves that there is no gain with no pain

Pros

The company invests a lot in people, especially in the first couple of years. There are numerous trainings, opportunities to learn, and one-on-one coaching. Some projects are not easy, but these are the greatest opportunities to develop and build new skills. There is a lot of flexibility in the types of projects or work that people want to get involved with. Helping accounting, finance, and HR teams at large public companies is part of what associates and consultants do, and the variety of projects is quite a lot. Learning programming to solve business problems is very exciting. The mix of technology and accounting/finance in the day-to-day work makes the job diverse. Definitely has a fintech vibe. Working hours can get long (60 hours) during busy times at quarter- or year-end reporting but are reasonable during the rest of the time. The office is very cool. It has a pool table, ping-pong, gym, relax room, etc. and people really like to get together and have fun. Free snack and drinks :)

Cons

Meetings with European clients (Switzerland, UK, Germany) or Asian clients (Singapore, China, Thailand, etc.) can be at weird hours sometimes. Luckily we can make the calls from home, and international clients understand the time difference.
