Can someone talk something more about the role of economists in these consulting firms and the reputations of these firms? For example, Cornerstone, Waston Wyatt Worldwide, analysis group, CRA International, etc.

It is true that brands matter more for these consulting firms than for academia. Yet I doubt that they only recruit only those from the top 10. Thinking how many phd students from top 10 will go to the private sector. In fact, if you check the biography of their employees, ton of them are from no-name school.
mostly those corps deal with legality issues. all you do is to 'make' evidences....those would include hiring 'witnesses', make fuss over any tiny issues, and of course, lying. got a few friends at cornerstone. they all left and now doing mba. heard it's boring job, esp for junior levels.
