Long involvements in projects with limited opportunity to evolve my career
Pros: Stable career plan that will lead you to at least Manager if you do the right moves and get the right contacts, where it is easier to move to a client's job. It thus works as a career fast ladder.
Cons: Potential career moves depend too much on your personal relationship with your direct manager and not that much on work quality. Assignements can vary widely based on department and luck, with some projects lasting for years and others - more interesting - for a few months.
The potential to move between projects is very limited, and can burn people that expect consulting to offer a broad view of the industry and project types.
