Pros

Good exit opportunities to MBB and other firms Competitive compensation

Cons

Very bad work-life balance with a culture focused on facetiming and presenteeism and very long working hours and frequent weekend work. Can't plan personal life or achieve personal goals. Very stressful working conditions . All work is labeled urgent and deadlines are unrealistic. Project scoping focuses on minimizing the number of people staffed on a given project. Company faces serious issues with the number of people available to staff on projects. Projects are becoming much less strategic and value adding and more about BS work and pleasing clients at any cost

Pros

You can get a good amount of beach time. If you have a lot going on in your life, that may be a good thing. If you are young and need to learn, don't let that happen. Being busy and grinding (within reason) is more worth it than things being too chill. Some projects that had travel had good culture.

Cons

Layoffs all the time for wrong reasons, way too remote with no ability to get young and hungry people the experience in person they need. Always stressing about utilization.
