Pros

In general, a great place to launch a career and a nice thing to have on the resume. You'll have more exposure than you would at just about any other "normal job." You'll also meet a ton of interesting and intelligent people. The work can be very interesting, but that largely depends on the type of work you end up doing.

Cons

Depending on the project you land on, the work could get boring and the project management could be terrible. Compensation should be a bit better, even with the economy. Travel can certainly be a negative, but since this is a consulting company and travel is a given, it's not fair to list it as a true con.

Pros

Good client base, interesting work, has a weath of knowledge capital and great resources available within the firm. The overall leadership is very good at reorganising the business to meet client and market changes and stay competitive.

Cons

It has become too large and does not treat its people or develop them as well as it used to. It has lost its sense of being within the firms employees. Certainly within the UK for many resources it is easy to forget who you work for as it often feels like you are working for the client. There is a lack of developing core skills within the area you are aligned, almost all skills are obtained 'on the job'.

Pros

There is always opportunity to do more. Clients are demanding and internal development is even more so. Compensation is usually competitive and if you commit to the company's core values, there are a multitude of career opportunities.

Cons

While billed as a meritocracy. The reality is merit + marketing + luck. It is important to network within the company to move up the ranks. Experienced hires beware, unless you are a shrewd negotiator, you will be positioned well behind your peers in pay and promotion readiness.
