Pros

- A good coaching culture where managers (if you are lucky to get someone invested/on a project near you) tend to care about their "coachees" - If you are young / out of college it is a great way to grow quickly by working with senior leaders and being placed in highly visible situations - If you do not want to travel then it is not forced upon you - Offices are very nice and located in exciting cities (however sometimes located in suburban+ areas)

Cons

- Work life balance disappears when placed on a highly visible project or one with VIP clients (including coercion to work nights and meetings scheduled on weekends) - Is extremely political to get to the top or be in the inner circles or cliques. You must be a savvy social extrovert and if not, you are penalized or cast out. - Much higher salaries (20k+ disparity) given to talent leaving the "Big 4" vs. talent from elsewhere or salary raises for current employees. - CapTech bends over and backwards to staff as many people on client engagements no matter the work. There is a lot of staff augmentation which has lead to people leaving.
