Pros
Very bright colleagues; collaborate with well-known analysts Access to wonderful range of IP Flexible work schedule; good IT infrastructure to support teleworking Nice office space; flat organizational structure Lots of opportunity to work on a variety of projects/industries/issues in a short time.
Cons
Communication of important decisions from senior management are slow-coming or non-existent Narrow career path limited to becoming a managing partner who focuses on selling into client accounts; little or no support for other subject matter expert roles to advance in level. Weak knowledge management - for a consulting org that depends on the quality of delivery IP, there is very little investment in developing and maintaining assets beyond the "in your spare time approach".
