Pros

- Very good non-salary perks (travel conditions, events, etc,..) - Strong of very smart and highly motivated people, supportive of each other - Access to massive network (can open many doors if you can leverage it) - QB does have strong reputation and will open doors to elite jobs (in Europe at least).

Cons

- Work life balance is very much project dependent can be 45h a week as well as +70h depending on project, client and team. - Some team underestimate or lack strong engineering knowledge. - Salary is good and you can save a lot of money because a lot of costs being covered. That being said, with increased demand in Applied AI/ FDEs , it is not competitive anymore. - Tech tracks can be much slower than for integratives, which does not make sense in today's world. It can take up to 4 years to get to Associate level at QB vs 2 years for integratives.
