Former S&O - A great experience I'd never do again
Pros: - Rapid learning and a huge amount of responsibility right out of school
- Exposure to very senior level people both within the firm and with clients
- Quick business skills for non-business majors (can be a con because you have to work harder to come up the learning curve)
- People (most) are great to be around
- Mentorship can come naturally out of the teams you work with on a daily basis (is also forced through firm formalities - this is less genuine )
Cons: - Unbelievable lack of work/ life balance
- BA/C community can be the backbone of many client projects, work falls on them and is dictated by the more senior resources ... sometimes you are legitimately typing down what a senior person is saying and then it is your job to turn this into an excel, powerpoint, and/ or executive level presentation in a very short period of time
- Firm puts things in place like flexibility and predictability initiatives, but this is up to your individual project leaders and can vary greatly
- Benefits are amazing, if you find time to use them
- Travel can be exhaustive, unpredictable, and demoralizing ...sounds exciting at first (i get to go to X city! but really, you get to work out of an office in X city ...you are not out exploring)
- The most junior resources who work very hard are also the most replaceable, and are treated as such a lot of the time
