We're too Big to help you
Pros: Excellent place to get a start working, especially if you're fresh out of university. They will take you on board under a Consultants by Degree program.  Here you'll learn all about consulting.
Cons: You are on your own.  This company has the worst on boarding program I've ever seen.  You're left to sort out your own benefit options.  You're left on your own basically to manage your own career.  No guidance, and the mentoring program is a program in name only.  You're treated as a number, and how many billable numbers you produce. Never mind all the behind-the-scenes work one does supporting projects or helping win new work.  None if it counts at the end of the year.   Finally, their resource managers are the worst communicators.  You can be the most qualified individual to fill a role, but they will hire an outside resource if you are ________ (fill in the blank, 'too far', 'too high band', 'not fluent enough in French".
