Pros

Good pay. Nice yearly event. Good allowances when working abroad.

Cons

Extremely hierarchical working culture, only incentivising for shoe polishers to work their way up. Be prepared to waste hours of your life staying at work with nothing to do just because the consultant who’s more senior than you hasn’t left yet. People with zero leadership experience are assigned to lead projects, and consultants with 1 year experience feel entitled new joiners around. Competitive environment in an unhealthy way. HR department by far the worst I have seen, mostly composed of interns therefore the flaws committed are countless. Projects are boring. Only spoke to my line manager once or twice.

Good Career Start

Pros

- If you are noticed and have great technology skills, you will likely work on many projects within your first year and be at the top of the list for new projects. - Great exposure to databases, financial reporting, business intelligence tools, and important financial regulations. - Young company (age of management generally >28) and everyone is smart, driven, and friendly - Lots of after work social events - If you know Spanish, big plus - Average length of projects >3 months - Work directly with clients and have opportunity to build relationship with clients - Good work and work attitude is noticed - Given greater responsibility when show can handle it - Training is given priority and taken seriously by management

Cons

- There are many projects that feel like contracting instead of consulting (meaning doing the work that full time employees should be handling) - Salary feels low for industry when compare to hours worked, benefits, and type of projects - With new clients or clients that are worrying about the project, there is sometimes a culture of micromanagement and always being at your desk (look like you are working) - Some managers are a little more Spanish in their management style, which can conflict with American work culture - The hours for the consulting industry are okay, however it's possible to work elsewhere and be paid more for less time in the office. If stuck on a boring project, the hours do not feel worth it.

Good place to learn a lot and launch a career in finance

Pros

Opportunities to learn a lot, various types of projects provide an introduction to many subjects and the opportunity to specialize as you get more experience. Lots of responsibility and exposure to management in top financial institutions even within the first years. This is a great way to launch a career with yearly promotions and constant learning. Opportunities to travel and work with professionals from around the world.

Cons

the scale of the opportunities varies greatly depending on how much work you are willing to put in and your aptitude. You have to be willing to work hard and sometimes long hours. (It’s not a place to show up 9-5, get a paycheck, and leave.) Some projects are less interesting than others. The starting salary is not great but the yearly raises are well above average.
