Strategy & Operations
Pros: -Interesting Clients
-Potential for interesting work
-Comradery 
-Depending on the project, good expense budgets
-Hotel and Flight Miles
-Enhances resume and opens doors
-You will become more adept in communicating and managing the business landscape
Cons: -You will work more than you can bill
-Your direct manager does not care about you given that there is 0 repercussion on how direct reports are treated
-You will only survive by continuously being submissive and sucking up to anyone who is more senior to you
-You will soon realize that client work does not matter as much as pleasing internal leadership
-You are told that it's an entrepreneurial environment were you can pick your projects,  but, the reality is that if there is a need, you will be forced to work on engagements that might last 6-9months or longer
-You will also be expected to work on multiple initiatives, which will require you to add another 8 hours of work per week besides your client work
-You will be expected to be available 24/7 and at your clients/managers mercy
-Work life balance is non existent - they provide "wellness initiatives" in order to check all the boxes in order to do well in good company rankings
-To do any interesting work, you will have to do massive amounts of pursuit work and basically work on non-billables so that you can fall in the good graces of someone senior, and when the need arises and the stars align, you are considered (good luck)
-Company will not help place you in industry if you decide to leave (aka Bain, BCG, Mckinsey)
-Company is large and you are just a #, you can easily fall in the cracks
