1. Work life balance - although it varys from project to project but most folks have good WLB 2. Strong internal shared services 3. Good avenues to upskill - Free Udemy access (not all courses but there are more than enough), internal knowledge base, business unit sponsored certifications which are expensive outside 4. Job security - Since it is a big firm, layoffs are not very common

1. Poor Pay and Benefits - this is expected as they charge very less for the projects compared to other companies which pay more 2. Quality of work for a Consultant - Zero strategy is required, all are implementation projects for which someone has already given strategy 3. Slow growth - From what I have seen, at least 3 years are needed for promotion
