Pros

Great coworkers, especially when starting out, very young environment with thriving energy. However, to get ahead, the culture becomes cutthroat, and you quickly become overworked

Cons

Management is very poor, most managers just view people as resources and not actual people. Theyre happy to cut people immediately from the org if theyre not meeting numbers, damaging morale for those who are left. The actual consulting output of our work is also so subpar compared to other firms, we just want to put out numbers based on how were incentives, not quality. We wont particularly grow well in any field we choose because of this structure

Pros

high earnings, competitive pay, young coworkers

Cons

you aren't rewarded with freedom when performing well, hours are unnecessarily long, friday optional WFH makes it barely worth it, plastic corporate culture, lack of investment in true happiness in their employees, lots of degrading cons are masked as "benefits" - you dont gain any specific or transferrable skills and unless you work and think outside of the box regarding skills you could develop, you'll find yourself at square 1 in an SDR role two years out, despite the job not even being a sales role (no, you dont get a strategy consulting gig after this). managers and vps all promoted within, some are very smart and nice but lack of external oversight hurts broadened perspectives
