Pros

Experience in business development, client communications, tax accounting, excel.

Cons

Long hours for little pay. The firm wants you to spend all of your waking hours staring at a computer screen, completing pedantic tasks made up by middle management who stare over your shoulder all day because they have no lives. Very worried about making their sandbagged financial projections so that the partners can take all of the low tier workers' pay.

Pros

Consultants were not overworked, and people are generally staying in their own lane. Strong knowlegeable teammates and lots of internal resources to grow. Work life balance was good.

Cons

I left during a time of transition, since the top practice director retired and the EBA leader took over as interim leader. This interim guy seemed to be waiting for something to take any action with current resources, and he was not too interested in rallying or figuring things out as a team. If he had expectations, they were never communicated to me. The lack of clarity was very challenging for me personally, and it came off as a lack of support. I think others in the team probably feel similarly.
