Pros

Great people to work with - combination of smart brains and nice personalities Some projects can be very exciting Lots of career development opportunities (training and coaching)

Cons

Increasing number of "middle management" issues rather than top strategy topics Culture becoming more rigid Promotion decisions based more on loyalty to certain bosses rather than your competence Partners too much focused on selling - concerned on their own survival maybe?

Pros

Its a truly unique place to work - very enriching, challenging and generally with a very good and strong culture. Its hard work and long hours (you know that before), but you its amazing how much you can do not only in this job but specifically this company. People have a high integrity, are in general very supportive and its a great place to learn a wide range of capabilities.

Cons

Firstly: Work-life balance vastly differs depending on the practice area you specialize in, but in some specific ones it certainly critical. Secondly: Even though the performance review process is well developed the promotion process (in performance-quintiles) is not very transparent and could certainly be improved. Lastly: More appreciation of good performance and supporting the top-performers better would not hurt.
