Business Outlook
Pros
fast career advancement if you're doing a good job, international travel (depending on the engagement you're on), co workpers are respectful towards each other, professional atmosphere, learn a lot, you get taken out a good amount of time if you're in a right team
Cons
10 hour mandatory days for 5-6 months a year, which often turn into 12-13 hours a day; teams are understaffed, your job security depends on utilization (which means the more you use your deserved vacation time, the more chance you have of being layed off). Work-life balance is tough to achieve in reality although it's being promoted heavily by the recruiters. Impossible to transition between Adisory divisions.
