You get great exposure to a wide range of industries and functions, which allows you to survey industries to discover what you are interested in and good at Good brand name to leverage for faster and better access to future opportunities Feedback rich environment promotes learning

Cons

Lack of opportunity to actually implement Breadth of experience sacrificed for depth: jack of all trades but a master of none in the first few years, which can be detrimental when moving out of consulting into industry if you are compared with people who have specific experience in your target industry. Strict tenure up or out process limits flexibility Brand name not as strong as McKinsey
