Its just ok, take it for what it is.
Pros: It looks good on a resume.  Stick around for a few years and the 'experience' on your resume is better than anything else.  You do learn a lot and you do get some great opportunities that you probably wouldn't get anyhwere else.  When compared to the other Big 4 they are all the same.  So much of this job is situational in nature.  it all depends on what industry you are in and what clients you get put on. When you negotiate a job offer make sure you get to specify what industry you get in.  many people get stuck in industries that don't interest them and they are miserable.  once you get 'experience' in one industry its hard to get you to switch out.
Cons: You dont have a chance to have a personal life.  You can't make plans during the evenings because you don't know when you are going home until your senior tells you you are going home.  There will be months on end where you only see daylight through a conference window.  Don't expect much after each annual review then you wont be disappointed when you find out how they are going to 'compensate' you.  There are a lot of office politics that go into this job.  Don't get started on the wrong foot because that can set the tone for your career here.
