Pros

- Good atmosphere between colleagues - Laid-back attitude - There is room to improve a lot of things (e.g. layout of presentations / CV's, on-boarding process, day-to-day practicalities, internal communication, ...)

Cons

- Commitment of consultants is low (low participation to conf calls and G2Gs, senior consultants not taking up their responsibilities and not launching initiatives) - Lack of vision and ambition from the Management - Too much body shopping and too much focus on “clearing the bench, by all means and at all costs” - Unclear vision, low ambitions, unexistent eminence - Consultants are working most of the time alone on their projects. There is no team spirit. - The company is in financial trouble, with daily rates ridiculously low - Practicalities handling is a mess (car, fuel card, amex card, and other fringe benefits take months to be settled. Expenses are reimbursed three months after being encoded in the system)

Pros

Varied client work — Different clients and project types, which keeps things interesting. Real project mobility — You can move between projects when you advocate for yourself (within reason). Approachable leadership — Senior leaders are open to conversations if you reach out. Good development resources — Plenty of training and growth opportunities if you take advantage of them. Strong teams — Colleagues are smart, capable, and great to work with. Entrepreneurial environment — New ideas are encouraged, and there’s room to take initiative.

Cons

Long hours vary by project — Like most any professional job, some engagements require extended hours for prolonged periods, but work–life balance really depends on the client and team. Additional internal responsibilities — Depending on level, there can be a significant amount of firm‑support work outside of client delivery. Domain alignment not guaranteed — You may not always be staffed on projects that match your domain expertise. Coaching alignment constraints — Coaching relationships are tied to domain, which limits flexibility in choosing formal mentors. Long engagements (sometimes) — Some projects run for long durations or through multiple extensions. It can provides stability but may reduce variety in client and project experience depending on what you’re looking for.
