Would not recommend if you want to realise your potential
Pros: Lunch allowance, diverse experience, difficult to get fired
Cons: - Company has not been doing well in recent years, as partners who cannot meet target (for several years) are kept in their roles
- If you are unfortunate enough to fall into teams that are not doing well, you are likely to be resourced on to projects that have nothing to do with your role (advisory employees resourced on audit or tax) - in other words a waste of your expertise. 
- This also means that partners are likely to sell whatever they can, even in an area that they have no expertise in. This usually leads to under-resourcing and not being able to deliver a quality output as expected by the client. 
- interesting and stimulating projects are rare. For example in advisory, you are very likely to be resourced onto PMO roles formatting the same deck every week. 
- There has been a push for mental health initiatives but high pressure on utilisation and demanding project means that you are likely to not be able to attend any of those sessions. 
- Poor company performance translates into limited headcount. To get promoted, you have to be fortunate enough to be on a growing team and have connections.
