Pros
- Interesting projects and clients - International exposure - Great team culture (depending on your team)
Cons
- Bonus got slashed due to group structure change (which led to our group not hitting the target, even though our department did) - Political at the top, old boys club. - Firm is not run by professionals and business leaders - instead it's run by all the old boys (ie. former intelligence/military folk (who are great at what they do but not really at runnning business)

Pros
Very nice people to work with. A culture of hand-holding and padding on the back. Depending on how much effort you want to put in, progression can be fast and slow.
Cons
Below average pay. Siloed line of work. Outdated IT and infrastructure. Incompetent HR.

Pros
Really interesting work. Lots of good people around. In some roles, room for flexible development and initiative.
Cons
Company in some ways a leader in political risk (decades in industry, analysts over the world), but political risk team seems to be lowest priority in the business. As a consulting firm, workloads can be crazy. From my time there, it looked like career progression at higher levels was about sales and internal positioning. limited prospects if you're focused on delivery quality/performance.
