Pros

- good foundational knowledge of consulting practices - good team spirit - lots of events or groupchats are organised for young employees to network between themselves

Cons

- average junior employee management and skills learning - interns and junior employees are often asked to advise on subjects they do not have any expertise in, lowering the legitimity of their arguments and the creditibility of the team's output to the client

Pros

A lot of smart people to learn from

Cons

A lot of people leave. Utilization is also a dumb metric now with how much money they are dumping into their AI. Work is getting done quicker, hence less hours are being charged even when busy. Margins are consistently up despite hours being down so I don't get the need for higher utilzation KPI's anymore. On top of that, managers make you "eat" your chargeable hours to stay within their very small budgets now too, so utilzation does not really reflect anything meaningful anymore. Commercial consultants work 1.5-2x more than federal consultants but federal consultants are usually 100% utilzed because they must use the full budget despite the work not taking as long/as stressful of deadlines.
