Pros

Friendly people, lots of support internally, a very good salary package (base salary, bonus system, bike benefit, medical care and dentist, etc.), good amount of after-work activities, and provides lots of good training and project opportunities. There is also decent variation of industries to work at. So, overall, a pretty nice place to work at as long as consulting is what you like to do.

Cons

Recent changes in finding projects have been quite bad and enforce the consultant finding their own roles. This pretty much means asking around from either your line manager or contact network if they have a matching role for you in a client account.

This means that the more versatile you are, the more likely you are to find a new project to work at. In the worst case, you might end up sitting on the "bench" for quite a while and keep pointlessly sending applications in the internal system where half of the roles aren't really valid.

Sometimes it might feel just like being unemployed, except your salary keeps running.

Advice to Management

Improvements for more effective resource allocation are necessary in the long term. It all starts from enforcing making new opportunities and roles more transparent and concrete so that applying has an actual purpose.
