Training is definitely not top-notch at Mars. Most of our training comes on the job, so we often feel lost for a week while we try to learn everything that we need to know for the client. When we do get trained, it is very minimal and I don't feel like I've learned anything tangible afterwards.

The hours are very long. Expect to work 70 hours a week at this company. The long hours are mostly due to poor project management from the Managers. Also, there is no system for feedback in the company so many people do not improve from case to case. There is very little consideration for a work/life balance.

I don't like the fact that I have no choice over what project I guess staffed on as a young Consultant. I wish I could have more say in what type of companies I would like to work on, which Managers I would like to work with, or what types of projects I can take on.
