Pros

Worked with bright people, learned the consulting process. Pay was OK. Made a few connections for my network but I don't think those will be as valuable as I expected.

Cons

Long hours, conservative mentality. Almost completely focused on cost reduction via procurement, sourcing, and business process optimization. Not that exciting.
