Pros

Good as a place to learn from a grad level but few stay very long in my experience.

Cons

You do not progress quickly. Almost intentionally held back to keep costs down. If you are good at what you do, you will be worked twice as hard as another lazy petson in same role. HR doesnt get rid of useless staff. You do not get paid well and other similar companies offer similar benefits now. Poor recruitment success to replace staff moving on. This leads to overworked staff.

Pros

A wide variety of projects and some level of autonomy when it comes to types of projects you want to work for

Cons

No consideration for employee's talent, feedbacks often just focused on negatives so they can fire you the minute you don't show "yes boss" attitude. They are not doing well revenue wise and newly hired ones are let go first, citing "performance was not good". When you first join, they tell you not to worry about billable hours for the first 3-6 months, especially when the overall consulting work load was low across the board. But then they fire you for the same reason. Some managers are very kind and supportive when they give you feedback, but if you are unlucky, your reporting manager will use that feedback against you and fire you and not say anything positive. Low compensation.
