Boutique Consulting firm vs. Bigger Consulting Firms

Hey guys,

so I have been looking into consulting and I have noticed, just like banking, there are advantages and disadvantages for boutique (ala Trinity Partners) vs large consulting firms (Deloitte, OW).

I was wondering if you guys can give me the pros and cons of each. What are the advantages of a boutique as opposed to a bigger firm?

Thank you guys

No they are just an example I used because I spoke with alumnii from there. I am just trying to get some advantages of a boutique consulting firm because it might be a possible interview question for a place where I am trying to network
