Pros

Some very sharp senior people Excellent work life balance for the most part opportunity to travel Most staff pleasant and down to earth Nice small perks like pantry, blackberries, per diems You can coast (well that can be a con)

Cons

Middle managers (non MDs- even some MDs) not as smart as they seem A sea full of VPs and curious hierarchy for the lower level employees AVP and below Bad morale after huge talent exodus in 2009 and 2010 Bad pay and bonus-actually makes you two notches behind the market or worse- isn't that awful enough?
