Make sure to ask what Consulting Service Line you are being hired for and avoid AMS
Pros: -The pay is above market
-Good benefits
Cons: -AMS is not consulting: Application Management Services is a service line of consulting. They will hire you on as a Consultant (Senior Consultant in my case) and then tell you that you are actually being placed in the AMS Associate model. This means you are locked into a single project. At one point one of the Deloitte partners came to tell us more about the AMS Associates model and actually said that there is no career growth for AMS and thus there is no pressure to perform so we should be comfortable with that.
-Micro management is also encouraged from above and you will have zero work-life balance in AMS. So there goes that "No pressure" theory.
-Tedious and lengthy review process: In general, the review process tiresome and overkill. Twice yearly, It involves writing an essay and backing it up with all sorts of emails and "proof" that you have been doing your job.
-Probably the worst part is that you are locked into a single project and work in a call center type environment doing development or SI work and must track every hour of your day to include the 15 minutes you walk to Starbucks.
