Great place to launch a career, but you have to stand up for yourself.

Senior consultant

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Well respected within the government client base. 2. Reentry into commercial consulting during the next few years should create opportunities for greater pay and more leadership slots.

Cons

1. Very TEAM centric -- the team of a half dozen people that hires you determines your salary. You may learn very quickly that someone with exactly the same resume was hired by another team for 10% to 20% more, depending on the rates involved with various client contracts. 2. You are not visible to headquarters when first hired. You may be stuck on a client site at a government agency or military base 40 hours a week. While your clients may be happy with your work, if you are not back at headquarters you are not involved with the new business proposal development efforts that are the key to making real money and advancing within the firm.

Lack of diversity

Marketing communications strategist

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Seems like a great place to work if you are in other divisions. Most consultants enjoyed it.

Cons

Working in corporate marketing was like walking on eggshells. Nothing but white women who will fire you if they don't like your personality. Although the HR department had a team meeting introducing the Myers Briggs model on working with different personality types, they do not welcome diversity in that department.
