Old hand/new hand
Pros: Interesting work (some of the time)--they talk about all their strategy and operations work, but in reality most of it is IT-related.  If you are looking for a strategy firm, this isn't it.  The travel can be cool (especially the chance to head elsewhere on the weekends), and the points are a nice perk.
Cons: You have to drink the Kool-Aid to get ahead.  Lots of work for work's sake (not always for added value).  There seems to be a lack of real-world experience even at the manager/senior manager/partner level.  They really value people who "grew up" in the firm, but that means that they have a single set of experiences on which to base their judgement.
