Pros
5 weeks PTO, 16 weeks family leave; opportunities for broad exposure; generally intelligent, considerate, and committed peers.
Cons
- Very much a "look at me" culture. - If you don't kiss up (*ahem* - "network/show your brand"), then no one at Senior Manager or Principal/Managing Director cares about you except as you affect their bottom line. - The combination of the two above results in some relatively incompetent self-promoters who promote quickly. - The firm considers "leadership" to be a combination of bringing in more money/managing more revenue with going through the motions of expected management practices. - Disingenuous salesman-y managers, senior managers, and principals/directors generally means unpleasant work for the people who actually have to do it.
