Pros

This place is perfect for the young, inexperienced and willing to latch on to someone who is on the "fast track" and don't mind doing whatever they want at whatever time or day, then this place is ideal.

Cons

This is your classic - it's all about who you know NOT what you know. We have immature, arrogant and ego-driven "leaders" who are not open to feedback. The criteria by which a consultant is assessed is inconsistent and vary from person to person. They speak of transparency and trust but have done nothing to instill this. They value those who will conform and not point out the inefficiencies and short-comings of "management" decisions. There is blatant favoritism and preferential treatment because of a "fixed" coaching tree. Human capital on this account is inexperienced and knows little about relationship building. Anything raised to their attention is either ignored, provided a contradicting canned response, or an exception which can not be explained unless within the "circle of trust".

Pros

Varied client work — Different clients and project types, which keeps things interesting. Real project mobility — You can move between projects when you advocate for yourself (within reason). Approachable leadership — Senior leaders are open to conversations if you reach out. Good development resources — Plenty of training and growth opportunities if you take advantage of them. Strong teams — Colleagues are smart, capable, and great to work with. Entrepreneurial environment — New ideas are encouraged, and there’s room to take initiative.

Cons

Long hours vary by project — Like most any professional job, some engagements require extended hours for prolonged periods, but work–life balance really depends on the client and team. Additional internal responsibilities — Depending on level, there can be a significant amount of firm‑support work outside of client delivery. Domain alignment not guaranteed — You may not always be staffed on projects that match your domain expertise. Coaching alignment constraints — Coaching relationships are tied to domain, which limits flexibility in choosing formal mentors. Long engagements (sometimes) — Some projects run for long durations or through multiple extensions. It can provides stability but may reduce variety in client and project experience depending on what you’re looking for.
