Great experience but not for the faint hearted!
Pros: Great opportunities to learn about many different industries and companies - you'll work with senior leaders and understand each company's strategic issues. Fast paced and great experience & exposure for graduates - you have to learn quickly! You'll work on a wide variety of projects so you get a really varied experience and you'll work with some inspiring people
Cons: It's not for the faint hearted! One month you'll be on  a project you love, pushing yourself. The next month you'll be on a project you don't like in an industry you aren't interested in and not developing your skills - you go where the work is so you sometimes feel a lack of control and the yoyo effect can really play with your head. Other main comment is there's a strong hierarchy and politics between grades (you really need to 'play the game')
