Pros

They have standard benefits. They don't make any significant changes for at least the first year or two.

Cons

Be prepared for your firm to be flipped upside down a year after the acquisition. You will find yourself updating your resume because you can see it coming. Your administrative and accounting positions become redundant. They will lay off people, departments, and close offices that aren't necessary. You will be a slave to your time sheet and utilization rate. Stock up on good-bye cards....you'll need them.

Pros

You will be working with great minds. People have their niches expertise and it’s wonderful to learn from them. Very professional and respectful behavior. Doesn’t feel like other consulting firms where you’re worked like a dog.

Cons

Sometimes it’s hard to build consistent work because people tend to hold on to their projects rather than transferring to junior staff and it’s mainly because the pressure to be billable is high.
