Pros

There are lots of fake reviews here already. I don't want to make up something that is untrue.

Cons

- Very limited roles/ opportunities in a consultancy - Account managers will force you to accept icky roles which could be 100% unrelated to your stream, you will be in trouble if you don't accept - Unpleasant working environment: Constant gaslighting and PUA by account managers, HR and trainers - No bonus and required consultants to work overtime, no real ALs - Fresh grads are likely to be discriminated these days, no longer a good starting point - Bullying is commonplace and part of their business model

Pros

It is a job that pays.

Cons

They will promise you opportunities that don't exist. The company they contract you to will promise you work that you will not be assigned. I was a Java Consultant with a masters degree in Math and certificate in full stack and I was shoved into a manual testing position that required zero coding and constantly dangled automation in front of my face. When I was asked to look at Selenium, I studied it in some of the copious amounts of downtime i had and was reprimanded during the next meeting for 'wasting company time'. I moved from Texas to New Jersey for my first position. After contracts with the company were terminated, I was pulled off my assignment only to be abruptly fired for "lack of geoflexibility" despite willingness to move to several places they do business including NYC and even Denver. There is no accountability from them as the only response they give is "the decision is final". There is no way to appeal a blatant lie. Their company has no integrity and side with business majors over people that know how chemicals and physics and electrical components work just seem like bad life decisions. They will say you can reapply but they won't hire you. They'd full of it at every angle.
