Pros

- Competitive pay and benefits - Really good people (everyone says this everywhere, but it's really true) - Good work-life balance for a consultancy, weekend work is very rare, as are all nighters - Good social side (always drinks, sports, events if you wish) - Good company size, can get to know people quickly and it helps with the sense of community - Easy to chat to partners/the CEO even if you're just an associate - Business is growing very rapidly compared to the industry as a whole, which is reflected in new types of projects and great clients - Relatively small in-takes (mine was "big" at 13) so you'll get a lot of of one on one time with senior guys and a decent amount of influence over your projects and training - Free fruit, drink and doughnuts

Cons

- Quite a lot of technology consulting projects, not for everyone, although this is changing (I'm on a strategy/consumer analysis project) - Not exactly a con (I'm happy with it) but it's financial services only, may not be for everyone - No showers at work

Pros

Varied client work — Different clients and project types, which keeps things interesting. Real project mobility — You can move between projects when you advocate for yourself (within reason). Approachable leadership — Senior leaders are open to conversations if you reach out. Good development resources — Plenty of training and growth opportunities if you take advantage of them. Strong teams — Colleagues are smart, capable, and great to work with. Entrepreneurial environment — New ideas are encouraged, and there’s room to take initiative.

Cons

Long hours vary by project — Like most any professional job, some engagements require extended hours for prolonged periods, but work–life balance really depends on the client and team. Additional internal responsibilities — Depending on level, there can be a significant amount of firm‑support work outside of client delivery. Domain alignment not guaranteed — You may not always be staffed on projects that match your domain expertise. Coaching alignment constraints — Coaching relationships are tied to domain, which limits flexibility in choosing formal mentors. Long engagements (sometimes) — Some projects run for long durations or through multiple extensions. It can provides stability but may reduce variety in client and project experience depending on what you’re looking for.
