Pros

You can make a lot of friends there. The flaw though is the continuously stated opinion that people there are somehow nicer than any other company. Other than that, it provides a very solid grounding in consulting processes and rigour, in line with other mainstream management consultancies.

Cons

Bonuses are laughable, promotion is slow and working hours are high. Brand name not strong enough to justify this personal trade-off.

Pros

Strong culture and collaborative environment with smart, supportive colleagues. Admins are trusted partners and get exposure to senior leadership, which provides great learning opportunities. Compensation and benefits are competitive compared to similar roles.

Cons

Workload can be high, with admins often supporting multiple stakeholders while also providing backup coverage. Expectations can vary widely depending on the team, which can create inconsistency and pressure. Career growth paths are less structured and require a lot of self-direction. Work-life balance can be challenging at times, especially across time zones.
