Pros
1. Small team, everyone is exposed to multiple aspects of the projects done i.e., as an intern I already had the opportunity to present to the C-suite 2. Meritocratic culture and flat structure means that you are never waiting for someone else to move on to get a promotion, You can determine your own path - some have moved through 6 seniorities in as little as 4 years 3. Highly competitive remuneration, especially relative to South African opportunities 4. Heavy focus on developing and mentoring those in the team 5. Very entrepreneurial i.e., any idea from any seniority is heard 6. Changing culture i.e., a converted effort has been put in over the last 2 years to make the "consulting" lifestyle at the firm more sustainable
Cons
1. Incredibly difficult to get into - they have a relentless, zero tolerance, on hiring to talent recruit less than 1% of applicants and applicants will be subject to multiple rounds of interviews 2. Consulting does require longer hours and more commitment than most professions. You would need to be very intentional about your work-life balance but it is possible and sustainable
