Pros

Good for big 4 consultants looking to reduce travel. Many big companies are clients, which gives exposure to large local companies. When you start, you're a shiny new penny.

Cons

Focused on growth in profit, vs. quality growth of hires matching to roles. Mainly staff augmentation roles, with very little focused on the right match with right skills. Very cliquey management, mainly focused on whether you are a part of the "good ol' boys" club. Feels like a fraternity. Raises are very limited and you are lucky if you get a $1-$2 /hr raise in 3 years.

Pros

- Fantastic work life balance - Great culture - Nice, fun-loving people - Decent compensation

Cons

- Projects are poorly managed; problems at every level - Very forgiving and nice (as opposed to cut-throat) culture has led to the accumulation of unmotivated (and in some cases, unqualified) people - Management consulting work is peripheral to the firm's core IT solutions; this is frustrating if you are not interested in doing IT consulting - Not a very conducive environment for professional development
