Pros

Minimal travel and decent work life balance for consulting. Basically entirely remote for the last 6 years other than a handful of client facing travel weeks per year. Decent benefits.

Cons

Heavy heavy offshore delivery. Old school partners from PWC run the consulting org. You'll run into a rotten one here and there. Very difficult to get promoted - laundry list of extracurriculars grows every 6 months. Raises capped at 1-3% per year. Bonus limited to either 3.4% or 6.8% of your salary for Senior Manager and below. 6.8% only awarded to top performers. Senior leadership only wants to please the stock market and are stingy with compensation.
