Experience level: Confirmed

Fun and frustrating at the same time
Pros: - Good travel opportunities
- Work with smart individuals, might even pick up a technical skill along the way
- Paid better than most people in consulting, but wide variation for people at the same level can bread resentment
- Great place to start your career
- Flexible to move around either in career or location
Cons: - Mediocre when it comes to tech delivery
- No one cares how good you are at your job, it's all about your network
- Expectations to do 'firm activities' are ridiculous
- Operates like a sorority (petty, people are overly sensitive). People have a high need to be liked.
- Poor review process (everyone rates themselves first in the review process and guess what? - everyone thinks they're great)
- Leadership is overly optimistic and will talk about how great the company is doing and how there is so much opportunity in the pipeline, but come salary/bonus time you'll see that all of a sudden there is more uncertainty.
- Huge resistance to challenge people in authority. Sr. Manager is the weakest level - don't expect much in terms of delivery or for them to stand up to a partner or client.
- Not a place for people who want to do a good job and be rewarded for it. You need to constantly be unselling yourself and skills. (i.e. if you can spell SAP - just put it on your resume) and doing firm activities no matter how little effort you put into it just to say you did it.
