Pros

- Compensation was above-average - Training opportunities were excellent - Ability to work on the most prestigious, complex clients on a daily basis - Exposure to the world of consulting is something that is applicable to just about any path you wish to pursue - Very flexible work schedule - Ability to work from home when needed

Cons

- Too much emphasis on billable hours; hours targets are unrealistic unless you continue to work outside the office and on weekends - Spend too much time putting out fires and not enough time concentrating on the task at hand - Bonus opportunities are lacking... not much of an incentive to put in additional hours after you hit your hours target because there's very little upside opportunity - It's a bit of an "old boy's club" - most of the good opportunities and promotions seem to go to the favorites rather than the most dedicated and hard-working.

Pros

Paycheck is great, people to work with are generally very intelligent, positive and professional. Many positions are work from home or at least hybrid. Continuous learning is encouraged. Since the company is technically British, it is very inclusive and has several networks to ensure inclusion (although some such as the menopause support group are UK based which isn't surprising as the US doesn't typically care about such things though they should).

Cons

The workload is often insane to put it mildly. You are expected to sort of "do everything". When you are encouraged to speak up if you have too much work, they pretty much tell you "well you just have to figure out how to get it done because we have to give you more work". There is blatant favoritism. Those who are liked are praised for giving detailed answers on calls and granted a month off of PTO while those not as well liked get grilled when they ask for one day off and are told "not to overthink" when they try to provide detailed answers.
