Pros

I worked at Booz and Co. for 3 years post-MBA, and I was there during the acquisition from PwC. Very impressive people with great work ethic and strong ideas, always pushing to be thought leaders in their respective industries. In just a few years, core job skills like analysis, business writing, presenting, and problem solving were all supercharged. Great support network to get you out on the road, focused on what you get paid to do: consult top company's senior leaders. Great mentor-ship model: I had excellent mentors, both formal and informal in the company who took time to help me develop and navigate the challenging world of consulting Compensation and perks: Well-rewarded for hard work and success. Not just compensation, but small benefits like top computer/tech, snacks in office, happy hours, etc., are awesome

Cons

Tough Work/life balance - Expect to travel Mon-Thurs every week and work pretty late while on the road. Weekend work is there from time to time, but not a regular staple, which was appreciated Crabby sub-culture - The stress of the "up or on" model and chip on the shoulder for not being MBB made people crabby and resentful

Pros

I've been with the company for slightly less than three years, including as an intern, and it's amazing to recognize how much I have developed, both personally and professionally, during that time. I credit this to an extremely supportive, team-oriented environment and to being constantly challenged and pushed by the partners I have worked for. Also, you're constantly surrounded by incredibly smart people. In my previous jobs at start-ups, I enjoyed my time and liked my coworkers, but I've never before been so impressed and learned so much from the people I work with. (And this applies to people at all levels in the organization, from first year consultants out of undergrad to senior partners.) The new combination with PwC comes with both Pros and Cons (Lotus Notes...? Seriously...?), but so far, it appears that management has been dedicated to preserving those things that made Booz & Co. both culturally unique and high quality. Without making predictions about the eventual success, I think it's enough to say that at present, they are on a good path. (Also, it's worth noting that potential career opportunities and flexibility are much greater now that we're a part of the PwC network, especially for women who might consider going internal for a few years while raising kids.)

Cons

There's significant volatility of workload. Invariably, you will eventually have a final deliverable due on a Monday after a weekend you had planned to get away or take vacation. So even with you and your team's best efforts to balance your workload, you will sooner or later run into times where work interferes with personal time. However, I don't feel that our work-life balance is any worse than any of the other top tier consulting firms, and is better than some. (And much better than banking, for what it's worth!)

Pros

Great people, very driven ambitious and exceptionally smart. In a short period of time you can learn a lot have lots of interesting experiences and really enhance your CV and your business skills.

Cons

People skills is not a strength. Partners don't worry about staff but about hitting the numbers and making sales. The PWC acquisition unsettled people and some of the best ones have left.
