Pros

Departments kind of independent of each other. Most colleagues are nice and friendly

Cons

Located in the corner of the world. Too much Drama and politics! At my interview, they mentioned that they do provide a work-life balance--Liar!!! The reality is they want you to work like a non-stop, non-broken machine 24/7, everyone works like they are single, no family no kids. Management team too stupid, one asked you to go this direction, the other one asked you to that direction. They know nothing but pushing and pushing, standing behind your back and do some sneaky things.

Pros

Not everyone will be your person, but the ones who are, you'll keep them for life. The intensity of the work forges real bonds. When you go through the grind together, those friendships/mentorship stick long after you've moved on. Same goes for upper management.

Cons

During busy season (approx Jan to April), 40 hours is a floor, not a ceiling, and that's pretty standard for firms of this type. On the consulting side, you're constantly juggling multiple clients with overlapping deadlines, so if time management isn't your strong suit, you'll feel it fast. Compensation is solidly middle-of-the-road; don't expect it to wow you.
