Pros

The work is generally challenging and most of the people are great to work with. It looks great on the CV and the pay is normally pretty good, although this can vary depending on whether you get a duff review.

Cons

No work - life balance. They expect you to earn your money, so you'll spend an awful lot of time at the office and probably a lot of time away from home. The laddering system used for performance ratings can be very hit and miss. You can find yourself getting a good ratings for not doing a great deal one minute and then very average ratings for working your arse off the next - depending on the project you're on. For promotions there is a real emphasis on time at level as opposed to whether people are actually any good or not. I've seen people who are extremely average get promoted ahead of others that are much better but haven't yet served their "time". At the more senior levels the Senior Execs can start treating you like a dormat.

Pros

great brand and resume builder, smart co-workers who you can learn a lot from, interesting clients, decent compensation, tremendous learning opportunities, first class management team, some great engagements and some not so great engagements, I learned some very transferrable skills that apply to many industries -- overall, a great place to work if you are ok with the travel

Cons

work - life balance is often lacking, a lot of travel that is not always necessary, sometimes can be stuck at the same client for a very long time with no hope of getting off the engagement, the culture has really changed over the last 10 years as ha the upside earning potential
