Pros

Salary is in line with MBB / has prestige for other roles Partners are nice overall, but you rarely deal with them except for mainly project read out reviews and the one-off coffee chats

Cons

Managers/Senior Managers/Directors have extremely unrealistic expectations, and I have heard many stories of recent grads being quickly counseled out. Mainly staffed on due diligence projects that require as much Excel knowledge as investment banking to be able to perform well in creating cost baselines. Often passed up for interesting projects to Associates or the AC team in India because their project rates are cheaper. If you have another offer from another consulting firm, I strongly suggest you speak with employees to learn more rather than chase the brand name.

Pros

You can get a good amount of beach time. If you have a lot going on in your life, that may be a good thing. If you are young and need to learn, don't let that happen. Being busy and grinding (within reason) is more worth it than things being too chill. Some projects that had travel had good culture.

Cons

Layoffs all the time for wrong reasons, way too remote with no ability to get young and hungry people the experience in person they need. Always stressing about utilization.
