Pros

Decent place to start out of college or graduate school; most of the lower ranks (consultants and senior consultants) are willing to help out if you need it.

Cons

The training for university hires is effectively useless. Management fosters a very high school-ish environment, where how popular someone is socially factors into both reviews and staffing opportunities. Travel is much more than advertised (for example, I traveled non-stop for almost 10 months straight) and they'll often loan staff our to other offices for extended projects and then criticize and offer poor reviews to the individuals who didn't have enough of a "presence" with their home office's teams.

Pros

Compared to other consulting firms, the flexibility in the management here has been amazing. In my experience, teams do whatever they can to get the job done but also acknowledge that we have lives outside of work and are accommodating to that.

Cons

Pay is not competitive compared to other consulting firms and leadership is not as innovative as they could be.
