Good resume line, poor work environment
Pros: - Great for resume building - lots of employers love the "Big 4 consulting experience" and it's great to start out your career there.
- Lots of diverse project experience with Fortune 500 companies.
- Pay is pretty great for an inexperienced worker or recent college grad. Typically raises are high at 10 - 14% a year.
Cons: - Half the managers/senior managers are awful, calling you at all hours of the night. I had managers call me at 2 in the morning multiple times expecting me to answer and update slides. Absolutely no respect for personal boundaries.
- Automatic promotion to manager based on years worked there means you're getting someone who may not be great at managing others and not receptive to the input of their direct reports.
- Not easy to switch groups internally (e.g. once you're aligned to the Finance group, good luck getting out until you somehow get other project experience).
- I worked there pre-covid...the typical Mon-Thurs travel schedule gets old really quick.
