Pros
-Exposure to great minds and many talents -Challenging work with high-profile clients and companies -*Some* work mobility benefits (some work-from-home days possible with service line) -Great healthcare benefits -Great launch-pad into next career opportunity
Cons
-So much time is spent on internal procedure like mid-year and year-end reviews (which are round-table chopping blocks meant to normalize the bonus and promotion structure) -Some people will be busting it working 70+hr/wk and others will be on youtube all day with no shame. Management lets some people slack off and know it while others struggle to make it through the week. -Expected travel is often inconsistent with reality. Some people travel 80% with job posting showing expected travel 40%. - In some groups, when you are identified as the "go-to" person for subject matter, you are often pigeon-holed into that role, despite any intention you may have to experience other internal roles or service lines. Inter-office transfers are much tougher in reality than marketed. -Dog-eat-dog mentality: because of the competitive year-end review process, the peer collaboration process always seems like there's more than meets the eye; peers are fast to rate performance poorly to get ahead
