Learning, growth depends on the type of projects you work on
Pros: 1) Excellent opportunity to learn (speaking for management consulting), if placed in good projects
2) Salary varies a lot for the same role. Graduates from premier bschools are a fairly decent salary, which is a pros in my opinion
3) I worked on pretty exciting projects and picked up very useful and broad set of skills
Cons: 1) May have to stay very proactive to get hold of good projects. Advice - Speak your mind about the type of projects you want
2) Any partnership firm will have a lot of politics. This is not just for KPMG but for any firm. Thus, there might be internal competition between partners for projects; thus emoloyees have to walk a fine line between collaboration and competition, because both are recuired in a big 4
3) Promotion is dependent on your manager pitching for you. Thus, there's a strong element of luck in your growth. If you have a manager and director who are doing good business, they naturally become more influential and thus in a position to push for your promotion.
