Pros

Surrounded by smart people on the analyst and delivery teams. Never ending stream of new IT strategies and recommendations to enrich your knowledge. Great for your resume.

Cons

Management steeped in groupthink. Everyone agrees in the meeting that the idea is great but in private can't believe they are being asked to execute on it. Your pay and bonus directly tied to your performance on metrics, many of which cause behavior which is not beneficial to your client. New ideas are only valuable if you formerly worked for McKinsey. Convoluted and complex products that clients struggle to understand and consume. Stale leadership.

Pros

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Cons

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
