Pros

You will get exposure to fortune 500 clients. You will be working with clients that are usually at the top of the organization chart. Typical assignments require that you find solutions to very complex problems. You will have to opportunity to travel and see several major cities in the US.

Cons

The constant travel will wear you down. The review and promotion process is somewhat unfair as typically the managers responsible for your reviews and promotions are not the same managers that are on site with you on your day to day projects. This makes it difficult to represent you in their 'round table' discussions consultants are ranked against each other. These rankings form the basis for promotions and for division of the fixed pie of bonus and merit increase dollars.

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.
