Pros

Flexibility, ability to work from home, lots of opportunities to learn, great benefits, competitive salary

Cons

Leadership/senior consultants in the market offices are not as open to employee flexibility/work life balance and are not following the "All Roles can Flex" message being shared by corporate leadership. Full time employees with reduced hours are never considered for promotion. Heavy work load - expected to put in 50+ hours consistently, no true mentoring of employees, competitive environment in which employees don't support one another - not unusual to be "thrown under the bus".
