Pros

-Mix of project oppertunites. You can work on a technology project for a while, then move to a business consulting project. -As with any consulting firm, your life is pretty dynamic and always intesting. -You can advance quickly if you have a skill set.

Cons

-Skillsets are built with experience, and it can be difficult to find a consistant line of work. -As with any consulting firm, the project comes first when work/life balance is involved. You'll be asked to cancel personal things on a moments notice to keep the client happy. -You've got to work very had to build personal relationships with the movers and shakers to ensure you have consistant work. -No utilization bonus' -Poor internal communication within the company. You won't know what projects are starting up, which ones are finishing, or who can help you with what.

Cons

I was laid off after spending several months on the bench, with "lack of available projects" cited as the reason. However, another consultant in the same role who was also without an active client engagement was retained. As a woman and racial minority, I could not ignore the disparity in how these decisions appeared to be made. Before my termination, I reported being recorded without my consent and raised concerns about conduct that I believed reflected implicit bias. I was referred to as "URM" instead of by my name or role, encouraged toward race based employee resource groups rather than meaningful career opportunities, and repeatedly advocated for fair project placement while on the bench. My employment ended shortly after I raised these concerns. Following my termination, I pursued the matter through the appropriate internal and legal channels. I provided documentation supporting my concerns and gave the company multiple opportunities to investigate and resolve the issues. Rather than meaningfully addressing the evidence or acknowledging the seriousness of the allegations, the company denied wrongdoing, offered what I viewed as a nominal severance, and declined to accept accountability. Employees deserve confidence that concerns about discrimination and retaliation will be investigated objectively and fairly. My experience left me with the opposite impression.
