Experience level: Junior

Good pay but no life to spend the money on
Pros: Excellent pay, lots of extra benefits available to employees, generally they prefer to invest in employees they already have rather than constantly trying to find new talent (which is an extremely rare quality for a large consulting firm, especially in federal space). Provide uncountable opportunities for career advancement and learning and development. They truly believe in their people.
Cons: Work life balance is totally non existent. Mandatory overtime hour standards are ludicrous, and in conjunction with client utilization targets, you are effectively working an extra 4 weeks a year with no vacation. VERY demanding. The annual review process is a total sham and extremely frustrating but luckily, it only happens once a year!
