Good pay and smart colleagues, but expect variability in work-life balance - High degree of variability in travel, weekend work, etc. across the firm - you need to find the good managers to work for - Like all consulting, when work gets busy your personal life is expected to take a back seat
Pacing can sometimes be hard to manage
- Long hours / heavy travel depending on the type of project (consistent with most consulting firms)
Frequent travel, need a strong network in order to get on good engagements
Some work can be siloed, and it’s not always immediately clear who to go to for specific questions or how certain backend processes work. That said, once you find the right people and connections, things run very smoothly—so it’s more of a learning curve than a true downside.
