Pros

Well-known clients that offer great insight into their given industry. Once on client site, there is good exposure to make new connections and expand professional network.

Cons

There is a lack of communication within the company. The firm does not listen to employees' needs, instead management places 95% of focus only on client needs. Practically impossible to obtain any training or further professional development options. There is little company culture. The client base is not large enough to stimulate professional growth or challenge employees.

Pros

Company has a long history and lots of knowledgeable staff that are eager to help each other. Creative artists and consultants working together to create an amazing company culture and product/service.

Cons

If you are embedded in a role sometime you don't get to see your coworkers very often. Individual work assignments can be hit and miss in term of challenges and opportunities.

Pros

-- Good benefits. 20+ paid vacation days a year, company match 401K (but only after you've been there for a year), sick days. -- Good coworkers. Most of the people who work there are good at what they do and make for a positive atmosphere. The creative team is amazing. The bad apples don't last long. -- Getting to build your resume by working with some top companies in the world. -- This is a good place to start if you are new to consulting or are looking for more stability than contract freelance consulting.

Cons

-- Few opportunities for career growth and professional development. -- High turnover. If you're not fully billable, you're disposable. -- Poor business management, no dedicated sales person to look for new business, and a board of directors who is overseas and out of touch with the day-to-day. -- Pay is below average for similar roles at other companies.
