A good place to spend 30 years getting intimate with PowerPoint
Pros: Relaxed atmosphere and good work-life balance, I rarely felt stressed during my time there although some projects were more demanding than others.

Easygoing and supportive teammates that are always available to help. Work is shared across hierarchy so everyone is working on the same thing.

Decent compensation, great at the management and especially the partner level.

Supposedly good exit opportunities
Cons: Uninspiring work, where possible copying previous reports to reduce costs. "Research" is usually just a google search and hours, sometimes days, scouring the internet to avoid paying for third party sources. Data is often selectively omitted to reflect a predetermined conclusion at the start of the project. 

Lots of time spent formatting PowerPoint slides and aligning resumes.

Projects are distributed across multiple business lines diluting the learning experience and making work very repetitive.

Little incentive to do anything innovative, time spent with the firm is rewarded more than anything else.

In the Middle East, very anglocentric senior management and a superficial sense of inclusion.
