Pros

The people and collaboration without hierarchy, the flexibility, opportunity to work directly with partners on projects and lead significant workstreams early in your career

Cons

The smaller offices mean not as many formal processes which are structured and followed. As the business grows, this has become more necessary to establish.

Pros

Open door policy - makes it very easy to ask questions if your unsure of how to proceed or having difficulties with a task. Friendly working environment - usually you will be eating lunch with your division members and can get to know them on a more personal level. Responsibility from the start - SKP make sure that there are projects with which interns can help although there were occasions when some were put on excel sheet duty. Business knowledge - you get a very detailed insight into projects and pricing mechanisms whilst working there. No unreasonable working hours - if a deadline is imminent you will have to work late otherwise expect to work normal hours.

Cons

Choice of which intern is designated to which project is arbitrary at times. Best to find out in the interview round what work will await you. A very specialized consultancy and not the place to be if you want to acquire a general feel for management consulting because it will be heavy on sales and marketing, especially pricing. Very cost conscientious. The cost allowance for meals etc. is enough but will not have you screaming for joy.

Amazing first job

Pros

The flat, friendly, and non-cut-throat structure really nurtures your growth, especially for consultants who just came out of college. People are generally very intelligent, helpful, and just a little quirky. Since it is a relatively young firm, the projects are also less specialized and so always different and interesting.

Cons

Since the company is young, it is facing a lot of growing pains - it only recently hired a PR person and still does not have a full time HR. Knowledge management is also not quite there so sometimes you find yourself reinventing the wheel, for better or worse.
