Pros

If you are with the right team, you will learn a lot. The Human Capital business has a tremendous amount of potential, if they can execute and stick with a plan.

Cons

Human Capital business in in flux with little direction. Most principals only look only at their slice of the pie. Its very hard to get a cross-disciplinary team to work

Pros

Exposure to many different clients accross many industries. Those early in their career learn technical skills that other companies and business schools are looking for.

Cons

Career development is not a priority. No much by the way of developmental opportunities. Pay is greatly differentiated. Work life balance is poor.
