Pros

Work-life balance is good, depending on your project. It is truly a flat organization, so there' s a relatively good amount of autonomy. Pay is decent, benefits are pretty terrible IMO, but you wouldn't know unless you've had really good benefits in the past. There's lots of happy hours and they'll let you expense just about anything.

Cons

The higher-ups have a very naive perspective on what day to day life is like for consultants. They don't realize the company is still basically a startup (especially in smaller offices) and don't treat it that way. This leads to lots of poor decisions that tend to only impact the "boots on the ground" so to speak. Also, work-life balance goes completely out the window if there's a "sensitive" or "VIP" project/client. I've witnessed first-hand cases where people are explicitly told to work long hours and weekends to meet unreasonable deadlines just to make a client happy.
