Pros

Salary, good on boarding, location.

Cons

The management consultancy team is made up of project managers and people with little to no IT experience. The tasks you are given on projects could be done by anyone with admin skills. I have not used one bit of my 25 Yr experience since I joined. It's been a very disappointing move, one I wish I hadn't made. Stay away if you want to actually work in IT consulting.

Pros

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
