Amazing people, very poor work life balance
Pros: Amazing people to work with - hands down some of the best people I have ever worked with that genuinely cared about me as a human being. 

Better pay than most other people my age graduating from college, but somewhat low for the consulting industry. 

Great career trajectory and pay raises (8-12% annually non promotion years, 15-20% promotion years).
Cons: Way too many hours worked - was marketed at 45 hours, expected it to be 50-55 hours, ended up being 60+ on a good week. 

Constantly on the clock - if the client needs something on a Saturday at 9pm, you are held accountable to get it done. 

Very unrewarding work - hard to justify working at least 60 hours a week all to make massive corporations work a tiny bit more efficiently 

No bonus until Senior, and when you finally get there they are very small bonuses. 

Low 401k match that takes a long time to vest
