Pros

- Training was an excellent experience - Relaxed work environment - Intelligent and friendly coworkers - Competitive benefits - Management is actively engaged; I see them at "work in the office" days, town halls, events, and at trainings

Cons

- I was hired during an off time of year and didn't get to attend the "consultant challenge" training course for 3 months. In that time I often had trouble reaching my project leads to ask questions. This wasted a lot of my time. - I have spent a lot of time on the bench which has prevented me from getting chargeable hours. I would actually like a lot more work then I am being given. - Pay isn't great for LA's high cost of living

Pros

Good Culture, decent pay, not overworked too much.

Cons

Repetitive, meaningless, and boring work, hard to pivot out of this career once started. Also, the consulting career feels like such a fake job at times. Doesn't feel like real work. Makes you question your life decisions. I'd recommend any college grads to think about their future career goals first before joining. I joined on a whim and wish I spent more time interviewing. It's been incredibly difficult to pivot out of internal audit and sox compliance once you are in it. However, if you are really good at corporate politics and advocating for yourself you may be able to pivot out of the IAFA solution . However, not sure how that lends it self if you want to leave the company.
