Good place to start your career
Pros: Fast progression, good salary and promotion opportunities, great opportunities for external training and professional qualifications, a lot of responsibility early, large breadth of experience, some great people
Cons: There is a huge gap in the capabilities of staff and management, you are overloaded with work when you are good at your job, and comparatively are overworked when compared to peers. Capabilities of staff are oversold to clients, usually resulting in under-delivery, there is a huge amount of 'making it up as you go along' and blind leading the blind, as many people don't know what they're doing, and can't help. Some senior management are incredibly overworked and therefore don't have time to support you effectively. There is little-to-no social organisation in certain departments. There are a lot of questions about the work we do that no-one knows the answers to. Internally delivered training is usually of low quality. On countless times I was sent to clients as an 'expert' without really knowing what I was doing.
