Pros

Work content is very rich and intellectual. If you are good in your work, you get a lot of ownership and visibility. Travel is less compared to other consulting firms. Fortune 100 clients. There are always good projects, very little beach time.

Cons

Leadership is not very good at maintaining relationships with alumni. Administration / HR head is autocratic. No processes or timelines around promotions like major consulting forms. There are people who got 3 promotions in 4 years and then there are people who got no promotions in 4 years. No expectation management when it comes to bonuses. Bonuses are random and much below industry standards. There is no link between bonus and performance.

Outstanding clients and interesting work. Firm culture is hard to stomach for long.

Business Outlook

Pros

Clients are typically top 3 in a given industry. Consultants do not specialize, but rather gain exposure to multiple industry sectors. The engagements are important and interesting, and individual performance is recognized based on merit. Pay is competitive, and post-Mars opportunities are bright. Travel requirements are minimal compared to most consulting firms.

Cons

Authoritarian, hierarchical culture of fear that permeates from the top. Anyone who can stomach this environment and for more than a few years tends to be somewhat twisted (there are exceptions). Face time and long hours in the office are the norm, which does not encourage being productive and getting your work done quickly.
