Unfavorable HR policies
Pros: 1. Work from home and independence to manage your work as per convenience. Only we have to keep in mind the impact client's engagement 
2. Exposure to industry and senior executives rooms
3. Get to see the direct impact of work done for the business
Cons: While the work culture is different along different teams and partners, there are unfavorable HR policies which impacts you every now and then and we can't do much about it as despite of being unreasonable, it is barbarian to simply abide by them. Few examples which impacted me recently:
1.  External Panel Interviews for promotions: For all along the year, I was promised to be promoted to the next level. While there was no guidance/ mentoring for this, this panel was held accountable for rejecting the promotion process. It is consistently communicated to me that I still qualify for the role but I wont get it
2. Variable component (which is almost 25% of your annual earnings) is paid out after 3 months your performance cycle ends. That too, if you are not serving notice period. If you do, it is completely cancelled. In my scenario, I resigned in Aug end while my performance cycle ended in June. Still I am not entitled because if policies
3. Notice period is 3 months long and while there is an option to buy out or reduce, it is very hard to convince the partners
