Pros

The salary is very good, but creates a feeling that they are "buying" you to the exclusion of the rest of your life. I was given the oppurtunity to travel the world with IBM, for which I am grateful, and the commerardery between me and my team mates was great while I was there

Cons

They do not care that you have a home life, and their use of poermanent agency employees must border on the illegal when it comes to employee's job security. You live in permanent fear of not being able to interpret a brief in exact accordance with your bosses' vague outline and once you leave, you never hear from them again.

Pros

Big clients, projects and smart people. Great name on the resume and for someone starting out in their career.

Cons

Huge company so you have to make your own path and if you are not one of the highly valued consultants (mainly Associate Partners or Senior Managing Consultants) you can get lost in the shuffle and not compensated for the value you bring the organization.

Navigating multiple large organizations in highly matrixed environment can wear and grind one down. Business controls, process and operational intensive environment
