Think carefully what you want from your job, company culture and environment.
Pros: Brand. Some genuinely nice team members who enjoy a positive environment.
Cons: Feedback is for the assurance side, although I would not expect much difference from the other lines of business:
1. Very hierarchical. People introduce themselves as "I'm X, I'm a manager 😁/associate😐/director😎 in Y".
2. A lot of rude managers who don't know how to provide feedback. Feedback like "this isn't good, change it" followed by rude responses when asking for clarification. 
3. Senior colleagues get upset when you message them as opposed to their personal assistant on the instant messaging system and complain about you. 
4. Pressure to book exact time you spend hands on on activities and book the rest of your time elsewhere, including the time to understand a task to "learning". 
5. Culture of delegation. Everyone is trying ways to get others to do their work. No one wants to actually start writing a deliverable and you often see questions like "can we do so and so" meaning "can you do so and so". 
6. It is the associates and senior associates who do the hands on work with managers and above reviewing and providing feedback. Associates and Senior Associates then take actions to resolve the feedback for more rounds of the same.
