Pros

Great brand in the market place. Free sodas in the offices, nice office spaces.

Cons

Phony leadership. Liars who stab each other and their managers and staff in the back. Poor leadership without true capability. Trying to be the 5th biggest firm but still operate as a mom and pop operation in so many ways.

Pros

Not everyone will be your person, but the ones who are, you'll keep them for life. The intensity of the work forges real bonds. When you go through the grind together, those friendships/mentorship stick long after you've moved on. Same goes for upper management.

Cons

During busy season (approx Jan to April), 40 hours is a floor, not a ceiling, and that's pretty standard for firms of this type. On the consulting side, you're constantly juggling multiple clients with overlapping deadlines, so if time management isn't your strong suit, you'll feel it fast. Compensation is solidly middle-of-the-road; don't expect it to wow you.
