Pros

Holistic development (eg. politics in workplace) Good work-life balance (work whenever you want - your peers/seniors dont work, so you can do whatever you want - I could really follow my passion in office as I did not need to work much) Great for those in good relations with management - management is indifferent and is keen on promoting on the basis of favouritism - be their favourite and you will climb the tree quickly

Cons

Not good if you are a hard worker Sometimes you may put butter on toast but toast itself may disappear (former GSC leader left and my hard work went down the drain)

Pros

If you’re fresh out of school and don’t have a specific skill and don’t know what to do, and you’re willing to be a yes man then yes it might be a good place to figure out your next step.

Cons

- Lack of pipeline for certain practices (and they will blame that on you saying your utilization is low but there’s nothing you can do at an associate level) - Full of people that feel good about themselves but they actually knows nothing about how actual industry work - No talent - Management will give you vague feedback that you can’t act on, For example, I got asked to “elevate the deck” but when I asked is it the messaging or is it the format etc they can’t give me anything specific - The expectation on work quality is inconsistent - Some manager level people can’t do excel which is shocking - You need to be a people pleaser in order to get promoted
