Enjoyable place to work
Pros: Collaborative culture. Support your (self driven) development. Lots of opportunities to grow and stretch your career in different directions. The firm is is currently in growth mode which creates lots of exciting opportunities. 

Partners and senior leadership feel more approachable than another big 4 I have worked at, and are more willing to give you responsibility.
Cons: As with all consulting, the hours can be horrific. Not as 'slick' processes as another big 4 I have worked at, which can add lots of extra unnecessary work (eg managing quality and risk management in projects is a cumbersome, manual process. Proposals feel like they are 'made from scratch' every time, which makes them unfurls stressful to complete. 

As with all consulting, you depend on the client work won, which can make it harder to control the direction your career takes.
