I was an intern there almost 10 years ago. Apparently my job was to generate billable hours, because I wasn't given any work and when I asked for some I got a 700-page document to read. After some nagging I was told to do the same thing one freshly minted consultant who was two years older than me was doing. She was clueless so I did both my part and hers. The most sad/hilarious situation I had there though was when I bumped into my friend from university in the cafeteria, who was also an intern, but in a different company, and during our conversation it turned out that while I was doing essentially nothing and still got paid, he was working his ass off for free. In hindsight I think his time was much better spent, but I really needed the money so I didn't complain.
