      Pros

      Interesting and varied work. Plenty of opportunities move around the company between different client groups and service lines. The company treats their employees vary well and will are very accommodating when it is required.

      Cons

      You are expected to put in whatever hours are required to get the job done when it is required. It is not usually a matter of course, but does happen, but really that goes hand in hand with consulting career path. Most training is on the job, and the dedicated skills development and learning resources are under funded.

      Pros

      The work is very interesting and varied. There is a lot of opportunity to do a lot of different things and this is encouraged.

      Cons

      Working long hours and various non-business-development achievements seem to be often overlooked in some of the business units, which can be frustrating when it comes to review rounds.

      Pros

      Reasonable pay with regularly (twice yearly) pay reviews and promotions expected at certain points within your career. Agile company with the aim to get the job done rather than finishing at 5:30. Based on client site so commute could be short (dependant on your location). Big recruitment drives with high entry criteria.

      Cons

      Lower pay than other consultancies however lower hours (on the most part). Some high profile projects within the company that people are not keen on participating in and you can get stuck in a rut performing testing (which is sole destroying!)
