Pros

Top people, high-profile cases, international opportunities, great door opener in your CV. Working there lets you get to know a lot of industries inside-out and meet people that work on top-positions. Many consultants use this to switch from Management Consulting to working for one of their former clients.

Cons

Long hours, often repetitive and tedious work, stress, out-of-town cases demanding you spend 4 nights a week living in a hotel

Pros

You know what you're getting yourself into. It's a fantastic place to meet people and get started on your professional career.

Cons

Micromanaging and unrealistic expectations arise when your team doesn't have trust. Also, consulting work in general is decreasing in quality and scope since AI can do so much.
