Pros
Work/Life balance is excellent, the culture is amazing, and the professional support is unprecedented. Consultants get to choose the projects they work on, they aren't blindly staffed. If you want to be in management consulting and be happy, this is a great place to do that. Travel not required and no crazy hours, great people, impressive client base. There isn't a defined career track, you get to set your own career goals, what to focus on, and everyone helps you to work towards those goals.
Cons
The headline compensation is naturally a bit lower than MMB-level or even big-4 level. It should be a bit higher to retain talent, but in return you get more strong health and culture benefits, stipends, and the knowledge that you don't need to travel or work more hours than your lifestyle dictates. Also, recently some of the company was sold to a PE firm and there are internal concerns about future direction and priorities, but there have been some favorable management shakeups recently that are encouraging.
