Pros
Bright, insightful, and genuinely nice people to work with Top tier clients Broad range of project work Sufficient processes for most things to work sensibly, but loads of flexibility to "chart your own course" Staffing process genuinely takes into account personal preferences (industry, topic, travel), even if you don't get what you want every time Significant investment in building up expertise through the Expert Career Track; subsidiaries like Digital Ventures & Platinion; partnerships like Mu Sigma; and broadening the role of the internal Knowledge Team
Cons
Work-life-balance varies significantly by region and practice area Complexity of new career tracks and implications of truly multi-disciplinary teams not yet fully appreciated and embraced by all partners & principals
