Experience level: Confirmed

Advisory - Manager - 5y - Recommended for Rapid Career Development, w/ Caveats...
Pros: 1. Opportunity for rapid career growth (skills, network, and professional credibility)
2. Opportunity for exposure to wide range of industries and roles, and easy to bridge experiences into the next job
3. Opportunity to work on and solve interesting problems
4. Starwood points and luxury travel (if you are into that kind of thing)

Net net...
I recommend consulting to anyone early in their career who receives an offer, but does not have a professional passion that they would regret NOT pursuing instead

If you decide to go into consulting...
Make your decision based on the quality of the partners/team you will work with. They will greatly impact your career growth and how much fun you will have. 

If you don't have the opportunity to interview directly with your future teams than I'd recommend MBB > Big 4 > Niche. But IMO you will make faster gains in a great situation at a less prestigious firm than they will make in an average situation at a more prestigious firm.
Cons: 1. Although work/life balance is championed, it is not culturally understood
2. Comp for is formulaic and cohort-based below director-level; top-performance is ranked but not (significantly) rewarded
3. PwC is not perceived to be as sexy as MBB

Risks
1. Career growth and/or quality of life will be a function of the partners you work under; some people get lucky and others get screwed
2. If you don't have a skill that differentiates yourself from the crowd you will be a commodity and you will not work on stimulating projects that will advance your career
