Experience level: Junior

Who you know, not what you know.
Pros: Good entry level type roles to kick start your career, especially for new graduates. 
Interesting work, good people, opportunities to move laterally, and trial a few different career paths within the one organisation.
Cons: It takes a long time to move up the ladder. 
Review system heavily flawed. Who you know, not what you know once you pass the minimum promotion criteria, because there are a lot of people fighting for the same spots. Model is like a pyramid.
Senior people do not move up and out so you need to be willing to sit in junior roles for a long time. 
The consulting business model is outdated, and so pressure is placed on junior staff to produce more for less reward.
