Excellent opportunities... at a price
Pros: -Brilliant access to training, learning and expertise - you will be developed quickly
- Even if you are young, you are pushed and exposed to challenging work and big clients
-Despite inconsistent approaches - hard work and loyalty is broadly rewarded with progression and excellent pay
-The firm is genuinely invested in being innovative - but isn't always sure how it wants to be innovative, so follow through is an issue
-If you can travel freely, and have minimal home commitments, then there is no ceiling for your career
Cons: -Performance management processes are laughably bad and bad behaviour is rarely challenged meaningfully
-Regardless of promises or job profiles - you WILL travel and you WILL be staffed in client roles that don't always reflect your expertise
-Client work is paramount and exciting, but you WILL be dragged into tedious internal work that only serves someone else's interest
-You will meet consultants who INSIST you spend four hours aligning visual content, agonising over colour palettes and formatting  slides and documents. If you've ever employed a consultant on a daily rate this peek behind the curtain will enrage you and colour your opinion of pro services forever more...
