Pros

Good start for a junior as you might get exposure to some interesting job. Good work / life balance, not too much asked from employee, can do 9-5 if you want.

Cons

Loads of monkey jobs, emphasize on utilisation (i.e. need to demonstrate why spend 2 hours on a job) and keep on hiring new junior staff... No real vision as this is a big beast which acquire whatever it can... Obvously this depends on the team you are in but across the board it seems that many people feel the same. Many people (even very well placed in the hierarchy) have left following acquisitions as the vision turns into lower end of the consulting sprectrum type of jobs. People are treated like another fish in the ocean.

Pros

Typical consulting company with many offices. If you are lucky you may have growth opportunities. Benefits are generally good.

Cons

Continual company reorganizations and constant acquisitions to achieve "organic growth" objectives. Very high turnover rates and constant threat of layoffs. New CEO and COO are hired headhunters that arbitrarily layoff staff with no knowledge of their capabilities, no notification or discussion with their supervisors, no idea of connections with clients or project involvement. Very poor business decisions. Continual loss of experienced staff.

Reorganization is the name of the game

Pros

The salary and benefits are good. There is usually an annual increase based on performance and there are opportunities to earn promotions and raises.

Cons

Work life balance can suffer because of the demands for billability. Some people were stretched very thin. The biggest problem now is the constant change. They have been restructuring and reorganizing for the past few years and it never seems to stop, which impedes progress. Just when you start to get used to a structure and chain of command, it changes again and is followed by layoffs. People are a bit anxious about their job security, and rightly so.
