Pros

Good people. Pays average to above average if you can survive the interview process. Good career opportunities and ability to move up. Pays for cell phone.

Cons

Most of these reviews are fake and promoted by HR. SWC can't retain the good people. I'm guessing the long hours and lack of vacation has something to do about it. 10 vacation days a year. 4 sick days. Most of the "fun" place to work stuff is all smoke and mirrors - you will be too busy to enjoy yourself unless you're in HR.

Pros

Not everyone will be your person, but the ones who are, you'll keep them for life. The intensity of the work forges real bonds. When you go through the grind together, those friendships/mentorship stick long after you've moved on. Same goes for upper management.

Cons

During busy season (approx Jan to April), 40 hours is a floor, not a ceiling, and that's pretty standard for firms of this type. On the consulting side, you're constantly juggling multiple clients with overlapping deadlines, so if time management isn't your strong suit, you'll feel it fast. Compensation is solidly middle-of-the-road; don't expect it to wow you.
