Great company to start a career with; great reputation; expect to work hard; poor work-life balance.
Pros: The salary is competitive and coleeagues are sharp. Reputation of the Firm is excellent in the marketplace. This is a geat place to launch a career and hone one's skills.
Cons: Although the Firm advertises a 'work-life' balance, my experience is that this doesnt hold true (at least in the consulting arm). The hours are long (60+ hours per week) and the travel requirement is usually 100%. The number of vacation days provided is generous; unfortunately, it is difficult to take more than a few days off (a week at most) unless you are between projects. Attrition is in line with industry standards (~20%).
