Working for a good partner is a roll of the dice. Strong resume builder but that's about it.

Pros

Competitive pay compared to other federally focus consulting firms. Average pay if you're accustomed to commercial consulting. Social firm with several networking functions if you enjoy networking. Client work can be interesting. Plenty of opportunities to work across functions early in career.

Cons

Some Partners are amazing! Some partners are terrible to work for and see significant turnover amongst there team. Environment can even be toxic if you arent good at navigating personalities. You'll work hard for very little recognition. Exceeding expectations is the benchmark. It is easy to burn out because everyone is competing to stand out. Honestly you'd be better off doing the minimum to not get fired and put all that extra work they want you to do into your own side hustle. At least then you'll see a higher return on your invested time.
