Pros

- Highly structured environment - Lots of very interesting people, at least within the Management Consulting workforce - Opportunities to work internationally (although quite limited for the management consuting workforce)

Cons

- Too big and publicly listed, very little sense of belonging to the the firm as a whole - Many underqualified people in the IT consulting section - the firm had to grow fast, and has significantly lowered its standards for recruiting Analysts - No control whatsoever on your industry, and the assignment to Financial Services, Energy etc. is quasi impossible to change.
