Meh...
Pros: - good exposure to large, high-profile projects at Fortune 100 / 500 companies (a.k.a something to talk about on the resume)
- For the amount of work, the pay is fair
Cons: - Firm has gone through a series of acquisitions and has acquired some excellent talent. However, leadership is predominantly ex-audit, legacy pwc and can't relate to advisory staff
- performance metrics are absurd. Staff bonuses are based on "utilization," a function of partner performance 
- Due to the acquisitions, experience and promotability is highly variable group to group. Some employees find themselves on the same client for years whereas others have the opportunity to work on many clients. Along the same line, each group has varying standards for promotablility 
- Recent push for profitability has resulted in benefits being cut
- Advancing at the firm is highly dependent on your ability to drink the "cool-aid" or fake doing so convincingly
