Pros

Best for recent college grads who want consulting experience but still value work-life balance. You don't have to work the long hours like you do for other consulting firms. The people are really nice and they are very lenient about time off!

Cons

The work itself is not very interesting. I found myself on Tuesdays already wishing it was Friday. If you are looking for an exciting career, this is not the place to work.

Pros

Remote flexibility, which is nice.

Cons

You will not get a raise and if you do, it'll be 1%. Managers will not help you with escalating issues, you're on your own. It'll be blamed on you. You'll work so much overtime you won't have a social life.
