Offer from boutique consulting firm with bad online reviews

I'm considering an offer from a highly specialized consulting firm in Boston. According to Linkedin, its alumni have gone to very good business schools. But it has a few horrible online reviews around the web.

My goal is to enter MBA business schools">M7 in a few years, and hopefully jump to a higher caliber firm in between. Would you guys suggest taking this offer?
