Minpunten
The constant travel will wear you down. The review and promotion process is somewhat unfair as typically the managers responsible for your reviews and promotions are not the same managers that are on site with you on your day to day projects. This makes it difficult to represent you in their 'round table' discussions consultants are ranked against each other. These rankings form the basis for promotions and for division of the fixed pie of bonus and merit increase dollars.
