Pros
The people are the best I've ever worked with. Very sharp and down to earth. Also lots of opportunities to work overseas, especially if you want to be in the Middle East. Compensation was pretty good as well. From what I saw, OW paid more than Mckinsey, Bain or BCG at the Associate level.
Cons
Work life balance was awful. Most principals and directors were good to work with, but I was in the unfortunate situation of working with a project manager who was notorious for burning out people who work for him. A lot of people left because of him.
