Learn as much as you can fast and get out
Pros: Opportunity to interact with executive-level clients from beginning of career. There are some good people here that are interested in mentorship, but they are the exception. I enjoy working with colleagues who are incredibly motivated and most are smart. I would recommend if you have a solid escape plan- get in, learn as much as you can as fast as you can and get out, save your sanity.
Cons: -Started as an intern at the company-- they always tell you how flexible it is, but it is not really. You must be willing to give up atleast 1 year of "extra" work (ie. outside of your 50 hours on client work) in order to make transitions out of where you are placed.
-Often find that projects aren't completely thought through and mostly just slapped together
-Middle management is terrible
-Not great work/life balance, often expected to drop everything for the needs of the client (weekend calls, etc)
- high turnover 
- compensation for those starting out is not at all competitive with other Big 4
