Business outlook
Pros
The consulting workforce is full of a range of people, but they are hands-down some of the most intelligent and down-to-earth people out there. As with all businesses, the quality of colleagues can depend, but more often than not, ACNers are highly competent. Most team members are aware of their role on projects and try to go out of their way to both improve themselves, make life easier for others and in general be an asset to the firm.
Cons
Highly-stratified corporate culture means that individual interests, if not fought for, will be dismissed or ignored. HR and recruiters sometimes downplay previous experience or expressed interest of employees who are seeking to explore a new workspace or technology.
