(Advisory - Performance Improvement) An overall fulfilling experience - but with limited shelf life
Pros: People, people, people - amazing people. Great team spirit and support. Varied exposure to different industries and levels of management. If you are lucky, you get to be on a meaningful engagement. Great working culture.
Cons: Often repetitive - and mundane - jobs that really doesn't require any form of thinking, especially at lower levels. 
Often bid for - and win - jobs that require low skill but hire over-qualified staff for the job. 
Very, very slow (or practically non-existent) learning curve for the first 1-2 years. 
Oversell and under-deliver. to clients and staff alike. 
Very low exposure to presentation skills, or ownership to own work. Do not get to present your own work to client until manager level.
Highly dependent on luck, how close you are to the resource manager to get on meaningful jobs.
Only lip service about matching skills / interest / passion to jobs.
Work life balance is a buzzword thrown around every 3 months during townhall meetings, and nothing more.
Often ambitious plans and exciting internal improvements ideas but little to no execution. After a year, you'll heard and seen all.
