Pros

Company has a long history and lots of knowledgeable staff that are eager to help each other. Creative artists and consultants working together to create an amazing company culture and product/service.

Cons

If you are embedded in a role sometime you don't get to see your coworkers very often. Individual work assignments can be hit and miss in term of challenges and opportunities.

Pros

-- Good benefits. 20+ paid vacation days a year, company match 401K (but only after you've been there for a year), sick days. -- Good coworkers. Most of the people who work there are good at what they do and make for a positive atmosphere. The creative team is amazing. The bad apples don't last long. -- Getting to build your resume by working with some top companies in the world. -- This is a good place to start if you are new to consulting or are looking for more stability than contract freelance consulting.

Cons

-- Few opportunities for career growth and professional development. -- High turnover. If you're not fully billable, you're disposable. -- Poor business management, no dedicated sales person to look for new business, and a board of directors who is overseas and out of touch with the day-to-day. -- Pay is below average for similar roles at other companies.
