Hard work, rewarding but not for the feint hearted
Pros: Amazing opportunities for developing skills and progressing career at a much faster pace than working within industry.  Get to work with some of the best in industry, both in terms of colleagues and clients.  Get a real insight into client firms and the opportunity to make a real difference with the work we do.  Continued professional development and financial support for additional qualifications.  Flexibility on location of work sometimes possible, but is client work dependent. Have the strength of the whole firm behind you in all that you do.
Cons: Hours can be long, unsociable and very very demanding.  Client and firm expectations are extremely high, so need to be able to get answers and find solutions that others can’t.  Similar positions in industry are better paid, but don’t have the same pace of career progression, and bonuses are low to non-existent (compared to large industry bonus schemes)
