Pros

Good salary. You can say you worked as a strategy consultant on your resume. That's it.

Cons

Toxic environment, especially in the Consumer, Industrial Products & Services, and Automotive (CIPS) practice. All the negative stereotypes of consulting are true while only a select few are. Attrition from the old Booz guard has left the firm with neither the old talent nor the old brand! Some partners are downright abusive. There is absolutely no flexibility about what projects you can choose. Changing offices or practices is near impossible.

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.
