Pros

Diverse experiences across multiple clients, industries, and types of work - opportunity you may not receive in a non professional services setting Develop a lot of perspective quickly.

Cons

Can sometimes be left to figure things out without a lot of support. Recession had left them a little gunshy to hire - thus they are struggling to keep up with demand. Drain of talented resources is putting stress on teams.

Pros

Good Culture, decent pay, not overworked too much.

Cons

Repetitive, meaningless, and boring work, hard to pivot out of this career once started. Also, the consulting career feels like such a fake job at times. Doesn't feel like real work. Makes you question your life decisions. I'd recommend any college grads to think about their future career goals first before joining. I joined on a whim and wish I spent more time interviewing. It's been incredibly difficult to pivot out of internal audit and sox compliance once you are in it. However, if you are really good at corporate politics and advocating for yourself you may be able to pivot out of the IAFA solution . However, not sure how that lends it self if you want to leave the company.
