You'll need to find an influencial mentor to succeed here...
Pros: There are some really sharp people here--top of the class super-achievers. And many of them are nice, gracious, decent human beings.
Cons: There are many consultants and managers here who would throw you under the bus if it helped them to deflect blame from themselves and/or from their own bad decisions. To succeed you need to be a "type A", and you really must find a champion IN YOUR SILO OR PRACTICE who is at least two steps above you, truly believes in you, and will speak boldly on your behalf. Once you find that person, then you need to request him or her to be your career counselor (manager). If your career counselor doesn't believe in you, see potential in you, and speak up for you, then you will not last very long. All that needs to happen is for your career counselor to faintly under-praise you, understating your skills with a lack of enthusiasm at annual ranking meetings and your career will take a tailspin (unless they have too much billable work to handle and you remain a revenue source). And they drink a LOT--that may be a plus for some, but a minus for many.  So if you are working there or just interviewing there and you feel like you don't fit in, then interview with small to mid-size consulting firms that actually know their employees' names and skills.
