Pros

Great people, knowledge and capability. Good client base. Great teams and socials. Collection and momentum on direction ongoing of achieving top tier....

Cons

Promotion based on sucking up and brown nosing, not performance of personal objectives to contribution to team objectives. Little reward for sustaining or building business or billed out at v high margin (ie. above your grade on more than one assignment). No culling of poor performers of the year, or a chance of promotion above peers who underperfom. Poor reward for true effort to build business/ hit utilisation targets. (I'm sure it's great if you're one to sit the bench for long periods !! ). Ensure you know your market worth, go in for a few years to get base consultancy experience (perform - smash the targets and be flexible!), get headhunted to come out....

Pros

Pretty flexible. It's cool if you get on a project with a good client, because honestly you will become like a low-class employee at that company who they all dont care about and expect you not to be around very long so if you can deal with that then you can try and have a good time with them.

Cons

Honestly can't believe the audacity and entitlement of the middle management at this place. For example, last year everybody got about 3% merit raises (not at all keeping up with inflation but still something). This year, they were working with the same pool of funds to work with for raises, but made a "business decision" to consolidate the raises to only management. The rest of us got nothing. And the TOLD us they kept everything for themselves. And in addition to that, they twisted the knife by COMPLAINING to the whole department on a department call that their bonuses weren't enough. Just tone-deaf and careless mostly.
