Pros

Plenty of room to grow in many directions. The size of the firm allows for many possible career paths.

Cons

The culture is so thick, you need a knife to cut through it. Very difficult to get things done. Politics rule the day and everyone is only interested in covering their behind. Red tape everywhere. A normal request that used to take hours 10 years ago now takes six months to complete.

Pros

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
