Pros
Nice offices, good social culture (pre-covid) amongst younger members of staff, charge rates and hence client expectations are low you rarely need to work unsociable hours if you a competent
Cons
Where to begin.... - very opaque annual and promotion review process. Rules seem to change without warning and to suit whoever senior management flavour of the month is - Distinct, closed-shop inner circle around members of senior management within consulting, who then receive favorable projects and internal opportunities - Roles on offer are very poor - strategic and/or advisory consulting is non-existent, expect to be a bodyshopped PM or BA and left alone with no support for 6/12 months at a time - Bullying and gaslighting not uncommon from certain directors. Expect HR to ignore any complaints - LOTS of nepotism - not insignificant amount of junior members of staff are children of senior management or their friends. While some are competent and hard working, others are not so expect to have to cover for their shortcomings if they work with you - Salary increases, even with promotion, are laughably bad
