Pros

Minimal travel for most of the consultants. You might have a commute, but you won't have to get on an airplane. Great office culture.

Cons

It's typical of consulting, but: There's a metric ton of overhead. The profit margin is very low, but the mark-up on consultants time is very high. To some extent this is the fault of the customers, who are mostly boring and slow moving. That makes for long sales cycles. The project are also less than exciting if you're on the tech side of things.

Pros

Work/life balance, great people, no travel, multiple compensation models, diverse client base, fun employee events, and a happy place to park your career if you are not as concerned with long term growth.

Cons

Career growth primarily comes from sales ability, low level roles, compensation not up to market levels, PTO and holiday time off, maternity leave policy, and high turnover.

Pros

They sell only local projects which means you virtually never have to travel. They emphasize work life balance which allows you to limit your hours to 40-45 per week if you want. Entrepreneurial culture--if you have a good idea, they will back you. You can also choose to be on the Hourly rather than salary plan which means you'll get paid for every hour you work (or you can purposely lower your hours below 40/week and it's all good).

Cons

As with most consulting company, you work at the client site so it's very difficult to project what part of town you'll be working in.
