mostly office based. my experience was those more senior (Knowledge Experts) had a bit more travel (as needed basis) but that was like 10-20%.. and they also have more opportunity to work from home.. Also depends on tenure and the relationship you have with the partners and practice management.. It's all over the place (was in knowledge at bcg and mck as well)
