Pros

Oliver Wyman is a great place for a recent graduate to start their career at a top consulting company. Unlike McKinsey and others, they believe in building partners out of 22 year olds. This means that by 26 you may be just as marketable as a 30 year old Engagement Manager without the 300K in MBA expenses. Four years younger and no lost opportunity or out of pocket costs seems like a win win.

Cons

They are owned by an insurance brokerage who is publicly traded. So they have two marks against them: A publicly traded consulting company has keep their shareholders happy and MMC is not a "natural" owner of a consulting company. As a result you can be growing at 20% a year and there will still be no investment capital available. These issues typically impact the career progression of staff rather than consultants.

Partners can be very demanding. Working with the sister companies is often a challenging and slow at times.
