Pros

The pay is unparalleled for economics consultancy, and you get to experience a variety of cases.

Cons

Hours are brutal and mental health issues are never addressed. The idea is to 'tough it out or to get out' - which has been communicated to multiple people. Middle management (Economists, Senior Economists) are quitting in droves as the work is brutal and there is no support from seniors.

Pros

Decent pay, overtime, nice office. Good if you need something for a few years on a resume.

Cons

Too many hours for little to no reason. The whole point of this job is to maximize the amount of hours people work so that they can bill law firm exorbitant amounts for doing work that law firms and AI can already do. This is a dying industry and the company did little to nothing to help in career advancement.
