Pros

I've worked for Baringa for a significant chunk of my professional career, and having come from a Big-4/6 Global Consultancy previously, I can still safely say that I haven't come across a consulting company that's as good as Baringa. The work is interesting, our clients are as 'Blue Chip' as they come and you get to work with some of the best people in the industry. You really do work with your friends, rather than your colleagues - while this can also be said for pockets of the larger consulting houses, it's not true across the board. The senior leadership truly care about the individuals and maintaining the fantastic culture that Baringa has created over the last 15 years. Even thought the company has grown significantly, there's still scope for real ownership at the individual level, in terms of growing clients, capabilities and also helping to actually run and improve the company. I'm not sure there are too many other consultancies out there that are truly the same. The annual Baringa weekend away (with families) doesn't hurt either ;-)

Cons

Remember, it's still a consulting company! While we have fantastic and sometimes quite unique benefits, there's still the expectations of the client to meet - be that working away from home or long hours. However, the company does all it can to limit the negative impact of these aspects to consulting.
