Perceptions all over...
Pros: Working in a consulting environment is a challenge, with it's rewards. You'll get a work-life balance generally as no rigid timings and occasional work-from-home but sometimes it can go all into shambles, specially for domestic/govt. clients and travels. If you're on a business or functional side, you will reap much benefit from org. expertise in these areas and much support from senior management as they understand importance of your work much clearly (compared to technology people). Promotions and hikes depend on perceptions about you, so how better you manage those matters really.
Cons: You have to be more protective as the framework is not there to support you. It all depends on perceptions in absence of fixed guidelines/processes to save you. Politics and favoritism is part of game and one who shows, shines. On technology(ERP) side, they(Deloitte, India) are starters(2006-07) having not much expertise & established processes, tending to unrealistic expectations and undue pressure, resulting in chaos and dissatisfaction.
