Pros

- consulting team has some good people - atmosphere is usually very collegial - work-life balance is ok

Cons

- leadership is not transparent at all, and certainly not inspiring either (last week someone wrote a bad review of the CEO - then he called a meeting to address the review, but never addressed it and just tried to find out from us who wrote it) - projects contain the same types of work streams and themes over and over again - managers and directors are not the kind of people you learn a lot from - they just sit back and let you do all the work - overall, this is not the type of place that was sold to me before I signed

Pros

- Fantastic first job out of college. Consulting projects give exposure to a variety of technology companies and sectors. Associates are given high visibility and responsibility from day one. - Working closely with the Executive Partners (senior consultants) is one of the best parts of the job. They are experienced tech entrepreneurs who have been CEOs, CTOs, CIOs, of various technology companies throughout their career. A new grad joining a bigger firm would likely not get a chance to meet and work with this caliber of executives. - Class of Associates is made up of incredibly smart, driven people. Most of who will certainly be life-long friends. - My experience at Bulger was rich and clearly differentiated from others at my career stage. I learned so much in my 3 years at the firm and those learnings have made my transition into the tech world seamless.

Cons

- Given I was part of one of the first class of Associates, many of the benefits I enjoyed, for example the rotation program between Banking and Consulting, don't exist anymore. - Learning curve is steep but flattens quickly at ~1-2 years on the job as dynamic staffing can get you stuck on the same type of projects (with the same team) for a while. - Culture, and certain personalities, can be overwhelming for more reserved / quieter individuals.
