Arrogant partners/ Toxic treatment of women
Pros: Strong start for analysts.  It's not until you are promoted into a manager role that the ridiculous expectation of unreasonable hours, putting personal life secondary and conformity with the "leaderships" "vision" if that's what they want to call it - are imposed.
Cons: 1- highly politicized environment - with politics ( particularly in federal) being dictated by an old guard who has limited visibility into the actual innovation in the market. the leadership (particularly federal and consulting) is arrogant and out of touch with the market direction and demands.  They have limited understanding of how to meet customers where their at - and believe building their own solutions ( custom) versus partnering with industry leaders  is  a sustainable model. 

2- toxic treatment of high performing / strong women who don't "kiss the ring".  Yes. I was literally threatened by my service line leader (a partner who was brought over during the BearingPoint acquisition - and still holds the values that almost led Bp to bankruptcy ) that I needed to "kiss the ring" - or else... needless to say - despite other partners best efforts - this one mans behaviors created a toxic environment for myself and many others. The women who made it to partner are not the women who lift others up.  They are women who are narcissistic who build their own esteems by pushing other women down. 

3- work life balance focus particularly for women is all marketing/ dies not exist in practice.  I have several of managers who worked for me who when they went out on Maternity leave - were absolutely discriminated against during the performance review process. While they only took 3 months - those three months are factors in - and despite helping to win 40M worth of work the same year they had their children they received 3 averaging ratings just because they took time off to physically have a child.
