Pros

The projects are challenging, ground breaking and huge. Lateral level or mid-level employees (worker bees) are often very talented and fun to learn from and work with. Work-life balance is one of the best I've seen in a consulting company.

Cons

Senior management is a blind, bureaucratic mess. There is too much senior management, top heavy. Many deep cultural politics. No mentorship. And these seniors are often are not talented enough to be innovative, however, yet have worked for the company for a long time and therefore the culture within the company confuses talent capacity with seniority tender.
