Pros

Good resume-building experience, solid support system (line manager was encouarging)

Cons

Had my work stolen by upper management 5+ times, miscommunication about layoffs and job security from management (laying off half my cohort within the first six months of working, revoking new hire offers), horrible work-life balance, couldn't trust any of my coworkers since it was so cut-throat - it was basically a freelancing gig within the firm having to fight over projects (favoritism and prioritization for teams), pay was low compared to other consulting firms
