Pros

* opportunity to meet with senior executives from a variety of firms and/or industries * young workforce, very social * pay for educational costs

Cons

* lack of knowledge transfer * lack of clear channels/career paths for top 10% (the firm ranks each employee) * poor recruiting practices - seems a pulse is all it takes at times * poor leadership from the c-suite to front-line managers * bureaucratic * political * cost-focused service firm - budgets for discretionary expenses (business lunches, conferences) are minimal, almost non-existant * lots of arrogant, pompous consultants
