Pros

Career advancement, brand-name clients and ample training. Opportunity to travel if you like it and good performance management system. For the most part, co-works are intelligent from top schools. Opportunities to cross-roles meaning you can work in IT but then maybe work in finance if you are up for it. Lots of social activities for those without families.

Cons

lack of work/life balance, partner promises too much and travel. Difficult place to work and raise a family. Compensation is on the lower-hand of the Big 4. Disparate systems for time keeping, training and other stuff - it would nice to have a portal for all onlie needs.

Pros

A lot of smart people to learn from

Cons

A lot of people leave. Utilization is also a dumb metric now with how much money they are dumping into their AI. Work is getting done quicker, hence less hours are being charged even when busy. Margins are consistently up despite hours being down so I don't get the need for higher utilzation KPI's anymore. On top of that, managers make you "eat" your chargeable hours to stay within their very small budgets now too, so utilzation does not really reflect anything meaningful anymore. Commercial consultants work 1.5-2x more than federal consultants but federal consultants are usually 100% utilzed because they must use the full budget despite the work not taking as long/as stressful of deadlines.
