Pros

If you're right out of college, this is a great resume builder in consulting for a year or two. Your ego will love all the talk about how you're changing the world's best businesses - though if you are honest with yourself, the world's best businesses aren't going to look to a 23 year old for much strategic advice on anything significant. It's also a great place to continue the frat house antics and enjoy the boozy chauvinist camaraderie you didn't quite get enough of in school. Our leaders are still reliving their glory days as the big man on campus. "Four o'clock rocks" aka "beer and hot wings Friday" is a great place to lobby them for the role as social chair you wish you had at school. You'll make more money in your first year than most of your college friends did at graduation - but this company is cheap. Five years from now, you'll be way behind your industry peers.

Cons

The culture is more like a cult of personality surrounding the CEO. As other reviewers have pointed out, there is a clear old boys club in charge. At manager, director and above, you'll see lots of good people pushed out the door in a very short order because they just didn't "fit in" with the cool Andersen clique. Management really is a revolving door. For all the talk about development goals and use of Halogen, your true performance review is based on the opinions of a sycophantic few.
