Pros

Great customers - almost makes it worth putting up with the cons Very smart colleagues from across the globe Opportunities to travel

Cons

Work life balance is terrible. You will be expected to bill no less than 35 hrs per week and will be punished (i.e. no upward movement) unless you exceed this mark. Very little recognition for a 'job well done'. Do not expect any pats on the back, you will be treated like a resource and not a teammate or partner High turnover rate due to burnout and lack of opportunities for growth No clear metrics for roles; promotions are subjective at best Charleston office definitely hires a template employee - fit the mold or you will be out of the door within a year or two Pay is not competitive with national averages
