Great experience - if you can play the game
Pros: I was in Advisory, Technology consulting practice and went from Associate through Experienced Manager at the firm. I would personally recommend it to most people. To do well at the firm, you have to be driven, a work-a-holic at times, and open to travel. The work can be challenging, and the problems to solve can be fun. I worked at top tier Fortune & Global 500 companies on projects at a scope I would not have reached most other places.
Cons: The travel can be cumbersome in professional services - and is a reason many leave by the time they reach senior associate or manager. The firm can be highly political at times, with each partner within a practice having their own fiefdom - but that's how it is at many type A firms.
