Pros

-Exposure to many industries -Incredibly smart people (even if that intelligence is a bit narrow) -Flat culture -Good exit opportunities

Cons

- More risk / operational work than strategy work; highly regional concentration of work and dependent on the office you're in (e.g., if you're in New York expect to do a lot of financial services work) - Terrible working hours and no effective mechanism to escalate issues - Celebration of people who are high IQ / low EQ even when it's detrimental to culture and creates toxic work environments - Blind eye to blatant sexism and disrespectful management styles as long as the offender still does good client work

Pros

Good culture, solid pay, good benefits

Cons

Same as with most big companies. HR a little too focused on DEI and feel good inclusion initiatives over things that matter to most employees and clients. Top management messaging is generic and seems forced. But all senior leadership seem fairly genuine and good people vs. hyper focused on dollars alone.
