Get your two years and get out.
Pros: -Meet fantastic people you become life long friends with.
-Opportunity to travel different places.
-Work on several clients - opportunity to see different companies and how they operate.
-Good training programs.
-Sharpen your soft skills: teamwork, tight deadlines, leadership, etc.
Cons: -Long hours. 
-Incompetent staff.
-Incompetent managers.
-Multiple projects at the same time with same deadlines.
-Decent salary, but the pay does not justify hours and stress levels.
-Mobile devices - blackberry and laptop give managers the right to bother you whenever and wherever with questions.  No clear distinction between work and life balance.  
-Some industry groups have "cliques."  The partners of these cliques work on the best clients of that particular group, determine compensation, and promotions.  You need to luck out and get on one of those clients or you are out of luck.  Careers shouldn't be based on luck of the draw.
