Pros: Consulting arm is a good firm with people at all levels that are passionate about the spaces in which they operate. Leadership is committed to maintaining #1 position in the market or achieving it; and delivering higher/better results for their clients. Solid and deep knowledge capital and methodologies; which they continually work to keep fresh. Good place to start a career. Good career path, if you are amenable to professional services work (and life style) and recognize the objective is achieving partner, principal or director status.
Cons: Work-life balance isn't 9-5, M-F and you'll need to integrate your life requirements. Work includes both projects (which can be as you'd expect, intense) as well as asset and knowledge capital development. That's not so much a bad thing as a requirement to recognize to succeed you'll need to do a fair amount more than just well on your role on your projects. It's very relationship and personal credibility driven culture: with whom are you connected and what is your and their reputation for delivery? This is also not a bad thing (actually a great thing to learn when starting out) - - but can be exceptionally challenging when joining with experience and entering above Consultant and below Principal/Director.
