Employment status: former
Experience level: Junior

Great place to start your career - lots of training, strong network and exposure to major clients
Pros: Some context - I started as an analyst on the graduate program, so my view is very skewed towards that perspective. The experienced hire route is very different and doesn't afford the same benefits.

People - You'll meet hundreds of other bright young graduates who will also go on to do interesting things in consulting and elsewhere. This is a very strong networking that will fan out into industry in a few years.

Training - Great analyst training program that will give you the consulting tool kit. Ongoing training opportunities throughout your full time work between projects.

Exposure - You'll help senior leaders in businesses with their problems. It will give you a senior perspective on business that your peers in industry may not get as quickly or easily.
Cons: Variability in projects - Some projects are not interesting and don't offer many opportunities to learn. These dead-end projects are too common but they continue to exist because they're revenue streams for partners.

Variability in middle ranks - Many experienced hires are brought in with subject matter expertise but are not necessarily good leaders. They haven't spent enough time in consulting to credibly lead young grads from Oxbridge.
