Avantages
-fast career progression in early years -interesting innovative projects -implementation-orientation: we offer real solutions, not powerpoint slides -ideal for engineers with social/people skills and management ambitions -ideal place to start for university graduates with various internship experiences in industry -offers trainings and certifications (Project Management, International Management Academy, ...) -excellent work/life balance -international atmosphere in their offices - lots of French, German and Spanish -family-friendly - managers try to fit you with projects closer to home -many after-work events, summer and winter parties -quarterly communication meetings with the management and monthly conferences
Inconvénients
-to get into the higher management levels, at least 10 years of seniority necessary -high implementation focus in the projects leads to long projects, so around 1-2 years/project is often the case. However this means, you don't have to sleep in hotels each week and fly often to other locations. Some consultants have 2-3 month projects, but that also means more stress and being away from home.
