Pros: Decent benefits, 401k + employee match, great experience for resume, opportunities to development professional skills and constantly learn, exposure to different industries.
Cons: Management is very unorganized.  On a smaller private company engagement you see you’re Sr. Manager, Manager, Partner maybe once a week and they do not see the hard work you put in while they were not there for the majority of the engagement.  Than they rate your performance after barely seeing your work, which shows as a dot on a scatter plot compared to your peers.  This  effects your promotion, bonus, and compensation at year end .  The performance system is completely biased and political, if you have a close relationship with a manager/partner they will always rank you high now matter how you performed. Managers that don’t get a chance to know you rank you low when they don’t even know the amount of effort you put in.  They don’t give you your performance feedback until the end of the engagement when they should be giving you weekly feedback so you can improve as the engagement goes along instead of hearing about everything you did wrong at the end of the engagement when it’s too late to improve.  I recently took a medical leave of absence for 3 months from mental health issues (chronic insomnia, chronic anxiety, depression) which caused me to have low performance reviews in my first 2 engagements prior to taking medical leave. There has only been one manager that has supported me and helped me through this with valuable advice.  Prior managers I had after opening up to them about my mental health issues did nothing to support me and  gave me low performance reviews because they did not get a chance to know who I really am as a person and how much I want to succeed and contribute to the firm.  When I returned to work I am having trouble to be placed on engagements because of my first two months of performance reviews where I was still learning as a new hire and because of my mental health issues which seriously impacted performance, health, and confidence in myself.  I feel I am being discriminated against because of my disability and fear of being laid off from being unassigned and low utilization levels due to my medical leave.    Also, you can’t trust anyone because they will act like they like you then they will take every opportunity they can to stab you in the back.  A senior reported me to a partner for smoking a JUUL in MY car on the way to lunch completely off the client site which is an oderless vaporizer that I blew out of my window.  Yet when the managers or partners weren’t there this particular senior did not do any work because he was quitting in two weeks so I couldn’t even go to him for help as a first year with questions, and he would come in hungover almost everyday, bragging about how much he drank last night, play YouTube videos all day, sing out loud, which distracted me from my work, but I’m not the type to stab someone in the back.  My coach who is supposed to guide me on how  reach my best performance and help me advance my career has not had one conversation with me yet after being employed for almost a year. 

Compensation is extremely low compared to what we bill the clients each hour.
