Negative
Pros: - Telecommuting (if manager is ok with it)
- Various project opportunities
- Big 4 Name-recognition: looks good your resume
Cons: - Explicit favoritism and very shady corporate politics made it difficult to trust management
- Rewards based on ability to promote oneself and brown-nose
- No respect shown from management to associates (interns are treated better)
- No work/life balance - expect to be "on-call" with your phone on you at all times
- Pressure to hit "metrics" and stay billable. If you're not on a project, it's like you have to job-search all over again. 
- Annual (performance) review is a dog a pony show. Panels are biased and there is no 360 feedback incorporated. Promotions are based on a file and the opinions that a handful of managers (who may not work directly with you) have.
