The good & the bad
Pros: - The people - my colleagues are bright, committed, driven, hard working and fun to be around
- Coaching support provided - ability to have transparent conversations
- Flexibility to work wherever and whenever (dependent on client/ project needs)
- Opportunity for exposure to a variety of projects, across a variety of industries
- Frequent feedback is encouraged 
- learning opportunities
- no dress code
- location
- Opportunities for secondment or transfer internationally
Cons: - remuneration is terrible - not somewhere you work for the $
- little to no control over the types of work you do - often treated like a number 
- 'clients come first' which is often at the cost of our own people - often over-worked and under recognised and means your hours are totally dictated by the client or scoping of work that is totally out of your control. Hours are often ridiculous due to client demands, delivery of projects beyond scope (under direction of seniors) or under budgeted projects. There is little to no recognition at the top of the impacts of this on burn out rates.  
- end of year review/ promotion process is often all about advocacy and not actual performance
- resourcing of projects can often be based on who you know, not what you know
- flexibility is dependent on who you are working for and what flexibility looks like for them..unless you have children
- little investment in team building or engagement (in my team anyway), despite it being particularly called for in an industry where we are often geographically dispersed out at clients
