Pros

Get to put a Big 4 firm on the resume

Cons

Hours, hours, hours. South Florida is so badly managed that they are always short staffed. Each year they say they have a plan to get enough people, but it never happens. After 6 years, I was tired of their stories and the corporate Kool-Aid had a bitter taste. After years of promoting work / life balance they should just admit they are lying and say there is none.

Pros

Stability. There's a clear path and you would have to set the building on fire to be fired.

Cons

Billable hours/metric centered - Don't strive for efficiency gains; it's better to work long and hard rather than work efficiently. Their goal is to bill lots of hours to the client. Lack of intellectual capital - In my experience, colleagues were very dense. Slow pace of development - Because employees are not the sharpest crayons, and there is constant hiring straight out of college, the bar is set very low. You are expected to learn how to do 3 things, and repeat these at nauseum before being entrusted with a new task. Very little interaction with Partners/Principals.
