Pros

Very prestigious firm, looks great on any resume. You learn a lot, fast. The people are top notch, all very bright. The pay is good, if you last a few years. Great benefits, the profit sharing is amazing. The people are generally very nice--compared to wall street, these guys are much less cocky and obnoxious.

Cons

Very competitive environment. If you don't progress quickly in the eyes of managers, you are fired. The hours and lifestyle are difficult. The traveling scheduling is intense, despite what they tell you during recruiting, you will travel a lot. They talk a good game about feedback, but in reality many managers don't give honest assessments of your work until its too late.

Pros

Pay, benefits, projects (if you’re decently lucky to find a team that likes you and you like them)

Cons

Revolving door of talent. No one cares about your development if you’re struggling a little. So be ready to perform at the highest level without a single error. You’re not allowed a single bad case. Staffing will help get your first project. After that you’re pretty much on your own. Company promotes taking care of yourself but when you really have to take time off for serious health problems, you’re dinged in reviews, lose your connections as everyone behaves as if you don’t exist. The result is you will beg and beg to get staffed without any results. Instead of help, you’re given the “resilience and perseverance” advice from your leaders.
