Business Outlook

Pros

Great learning experience: working on different projects in different industries is definitely helpful. There is an element of luck about which particular projects one gets staffed on. - Excellent training ground for basic skills: while consulting wont teach you a solid skill , it will make you proficient in basic skills such as BIM and calculation softwares.

Cons

Not your normal 8-5 job - can be intense at times. As with any firm, your lifestyle can vary depending on projects and client demands. You can find yourself putting in a lot of hours on some projects.
