Pros

Travel perks, airline/rental/hotel benefits with status

Cons

No work-life balance Finding a project is your responsibility when you come to bench, if not, then you are given Lack of Work letter and eventually terminated. Red tape and very user-unfriendly policies.

Pros

--Good training ops. --Salary/Benefits/Social activities that are swanky.

Cons

--Top-heavy whereby too many managers are doing admin and not the actual work of the "practice" (Booz-speak for the individual tech team or group of teams which serve one client or one sector such as the US Navy). --The company is overally "balkanized." It's harder than expected to move from one practice to another. It's almost like there are several small B-A&Hs instead of one company.

Pros

Great team & great company to work for. You will need to be a hard worker, but you are able to find a good work life balance. People are really nice and you can (depends if you want to) open you up to alot of different work experiences. You also work alongside some incredibly smart professionals

Cons

You need to be aligned to leadership that believes in you to move up in the company. Clocking in and delivering wont cut it & hard work and successes in your role are not enough to get a promotion. You really have to "advertise" and put yourself on a soapbox to make moves up.
