Pros

Large company. Large social network within the company. Large contracts result in greater job security. Opportunities for networking within your chosen field/ industry.

Cons

Office politics abound. Large companies move slowly, hindered by policy. Employees can be under-utilized and seated next to someone who is over-burdened, but unable to share the work because of 'resource allocation'. It's easy to get lost in the paperwork and feel like a number. ie; waiting months for business cards/ benefits documents, only to find out they're mis-spelled and you must begin the process again.

Pros

You will be working with great minds. People have their niches expertise and it’s wonderful to learn from them. Very professional and respectful behavior. Doesn’t feel like other consulting firms where you’re worked like a dog.

Cons

Sometimes it’s hard to build consistent work because people tend to hold on to their projects rather than transferring to junior staff and it’s mainly because the pressure to be billable is high.
