Intense, but you'll learn tons

Pros

Diverse set of responsibilities means you develop skills you can use in just about any job. I'm definitely better at project management, client engagement, and writing having worked at Context. Smart, young group that knows how to work together. It's nice to be on the same page with the people you see everyday. Small company with BIG Fortune 500 clients, so you can get a start-up vibe and exposure to multinationals at the same time. Their business just keeps growing and growing, that means new clients, new projects, new opportunities. Good snacks! (You're gonna gain a little weight there, just accept that.)

Cons

The salary, benefits, and bonuses aren't great, considering the amount of time spent at the office. I didn't feel professional development was a priority or that I could specialize in what I felt I did best. Management is very smart, but they can be tough. I did see tons of improvement during my time there and friends who are still at Context tell me that this trend continues, so take this point with a grain of salt.

Pros

Very interesting, exciting projects and access to sustainability/CR working with Fortune 500 companies. Collaborative team environment (I worked quite a bit with team members from the NYC office) and given a lot of responsibility from the get go. Had access to client meetings, stakeholder engagement sessions, performed research/benchmarking, participated in brainstorm sessions and proposals, and projects/writing responsibilities. Throughout my internship I felt appreciated and was given more responsibility as time went on which was great. You work on multiple projects at once, giving you experience quickly – I certainly learned a lot over the 5 months of my internship. Also, it was paid ($125/day) which is plus. After my internship, I was offered a full-time position and am still with the company working out of LA!

Cons

It can be overwhelming at times, but I think that’s just the nature of consulting in general – you put in longer hours but learn a lot.
