Pros

Oh, the Places You'll Go! You'll get a lot of diverse and interesting cases - I've seen a Business Analysts present to CEOs and work on a separate case for an IPO in one week. Great people (I mean really diverse experience - not your usual 98% of staff with Business and MBA degrees). Going private (i.e. being partner owned once more) has made a huge difference after 10 years with Altran. Tend to work smart rather than boiling the ocean - makes a significant positive impact on work-life balance.

Cons

ADL is very lean. You won't get a lot of support here (unlike say in McK or BCG) so your team will have to do your own "deep analysis". Hours are long (but probably better than in most top tier firms).

Pros

Smooth on campus interview experience

Cons

Just a small word of caution: I was set to start at ADL post graduation, but my offer was rescinded out of the blue after 5 months. I was set to start in the Fall, but just 3 months out, I got the notice of the resignation with the reason being "political instability". As a student on a visa, this was very crushing and significantly derailed my plans, and I had to end up breaking a lease, which was pretty costly. While they did end up paying the sign-on bonus, it was still something a new graduate should not have to go through.
