Pros

Very flexible with time off and personal matters. Excellent contract rates. Very independent work environment, little micro-managing. Great, respectful management.

Cons

Transition from contract to permanent position is brutal. Little to no feedback about what to expect regarding contract. Rate is drastically cut from contract to permanent position. Earned bonus program is poorly structured - you actually get paid less as you work more. Will bring you contract at a different title, then bump you down once you "convert" over to permanent.

Pros

- Compensation is good - Higher fees typically mean you're doing more high level work (i.e., not long boring implementations) - In P&T you don't have to live near an office, just near an airport - For the most part, weekends are respected - For the most part, everyone at the firm is smart and hardworking, the few exceptions typically get weeded out eventually

Cons

- High degree of variability in travel, weekend work, etc. across the firm - you need to find the good managers to work for - Like all consulting, when work gets busy your personal life is expected to take a back seat
