Pros

Exposure to large organization work/clients

Cons

EXTREMELY bureaucratic! I held a high level position that offered me insight at the leadership level. The firm constantly talks about culture and its importance, yet leadership is consistently scheming behind everyone's back to push other agendas and backstab people. The people who make it to the highest levels are the ones who play the political games the best.

Pros

Some folks are great to work with. Some of the leaders really do care.

Cons

Workday practice is a total mess. They have trouble selling work and hours are much lower than they should be so consultants end up spread very thin across multiple projects and still can't hit utilization targets on paper even if they are working very hard in actuality. The independence requirements are insane!! If I had known I would have to disclose all of my investments and be told wha t I am or am not allowed to invest money in I would not have taken the job. Independence is total hell and most consulting firms don't subject employees to those invasive requirements.
