Current Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant
PA Consulting does not grow at any cost. They only hire people they think are good enough, which means there is only an A-team and not a B-team as some other consultancies might have. PA thus has a strong market reputation among other employers, because they know how difficult it is to get hired at PA, and also to be succesfull after several years.

You quickly get a lot of responsibility and the learning curve is steep. The colleagues are great and the salary is decent.
