Pros

It depends on which department you land. Can't think of any pros for the consulting "team" I worked with unfortunately.

Cons

A consulting practise with incapable and shoddy management that is desperately trying to compete with major consulting firms with minimum cost/staff and minimum resources It is expected to work extremely long hours and weekends Junior and mid-level consultants pushed beyond their limits Arrogant and misbehaved management with limited knowledge Poor pay No recognition Avoid if you can. Doesn't worth nor the money nor the effort.

Pros

Appreciated working with smart, driven colleagues; they were truly experts in their fields. The rigorous schedules we were on were strictly maintained, which usually made for a very organized structure and workload.

Cons

Leadership went through many changes and acquisitions while I was there. The mission seemed to keep changing, and it wasn't easy to maintain consistency in our reports with such leadership changes. Market analysts were often pulled onto consulting projects but were not paid as consultants. This is what pushed me to leave.
