Cons

Long work hours Do whatever it takes attitude to meet client needs. Which means usually working overtime on the weekends. Corporate reimbursement policy is crap. No corp credit cards, do you own expenses, which becomes hard when you are working so much, Have to think 2x before you do a late night dinner or otherwise
