Associate Consultant
Pros: I was paid very well, and worked with very intelligent people. Lots of initial effort provided towards training and cross-training as needs arise.
Cons: Brutally target-driven culture, similar to some of the more vicious sales roles I've seen. Stack ranking is gone but the mindset is still prevalent. Engagement Managers would put Associates on projects they were unqualified for or were in the wrong subject matter area, just to achieve utilization targets.
