Pros

Great place to start a career. Plenty of options to move around and try out new things early on in your career and be exposed to many clients which in most cases is a great opportunity to latch onto one for your next career move.

Cons

Not a great place to grow after 5+ year experience. Management plays favorites and unless you speak up and stand your ground or get in good with management you will most likely be traveling to unexciting places for unexciting clients. Bonuses are not what they used to be and the company as a whole is very frugal.

Great opportunity to grow as an individual based off of your technical and behavioral skillset.

Cons

If you are not assigned to a client, you could be on the bench which will affect your bonus.

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.
