Pros: I've learned a ton as a Business Analyst here, especially with the different client projects. The team in the Chicago office is really solid and supportive. They offer a decent hybrid work model, which helps sometimes.
Cons: Work-life balance can be really tough; it's definitely a common challenge in the consulting industry. Expect regular 50-60 hour weeks, which makes personal planning hard. Sometimes client demands feel non-stop.
Advice to Management: Try to better manage client expectations to reduce crunch times for consultants. More support for work-life balance initiatives could really help morale.
