Pros

Since you work on multiple projects, u learn good task management

Cons

Worst culture ever, nobody cares about the hard work you put in.Was managing 15 projects but still all they wanted was to be more involved in idiotic firm level initiatives,Only and only those who linger around the manager get promoted.The review system is bad and does not allow you to get promoted even if you are a high performer but do not fall under the minimum duration criteria(min 2-2.5 years) Worst work life balance ever, expectation is that u sit in office till late (post 10 pm), if u want to get noticed

Pros

Everyone is willing to help and support one another, creating a highly collaborative environment. It's a great place to start your career because of the amount of knowledge, mentorship, and guidance available. The company also supports a hybrid work setup, which promotes a healthy work-life balance. Additionally, feedback is generally well-received and encouraged

Cons

Work hours can be quite taxing - as is expected in consulting.
