Disappointing & Mediocre Firm
Pros: -COLLEAGUES: Many colleagues I've worked on my projects are some of the best people I have the pleasure of working with
-PROJECT VARIETY: Firm is very large and has its hands in nearly all industries around the world. If one is able to navigate the bureaucracy, the variety of projects that one can do is immense
Cons: -PROJECT STAFFING: Since the firm is very large, many of the project staffing teams are overburdened. This leads to an over-reliance on networking and informal staffing to find a project that is of interest and right for your skillset. 
-PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT: The Performance management system factors for which one is evaluated is very opaque and is highly dependent on the partners input on whether they know and like the practitioner. To wit, I've known colleagues who appeared excellent on the evaluation factors which are visible to them but have been evaluated poorly, or even fired in a few cases, due to little partner support.
-COMPENSATION & BENEFITS: Compensation is lower than what other strategy consulting firms offer and, while Deloitte offers a 401k match, the firm only matches ~1.5% of salary of which is 100% vested at 4 years.
