It's an illusion
Pros: Some very smart  people around, good benefits, decent flexibility in terms of the ability to work from home sometimes. IF you are lucky, you may have the chance to work in some challenging and interesting projects.
Cons: For those professionals with lots of experience in the industry (Non Consulting) it's a bit difficult to get adjusted to this new working environment, this is not necessarily a Cons, but the issue here is the lack of support from the firm to help the new hires to get adapted to the culture as everything is self-study or self-service in terms of training. 
What I find the most challenging aspect here is the need of dealing with so inflated egos around the firm. If you are not coming from consulting, you are basically a second class individual and your transferrable skills that you are being developing for years thru degrees and MBAs are not recognized due your lack of experience in consulting.  Arrogancy and lack of professional respect is a common factor in this working environment. I'm probably venting too much here, but after sometime working for the firm this is what I feel.
