Pros

Compensation is above average. High performance is rewarded. Projects are generally diverse and interesting.

Cons

A subgroup of senior staff ganged up to bully, gaslight, and spread false rumors about me. It was an extremely abusive workplace, where 12 hour workdays all week were apparently not enough to be considered a hard worker. There was no way for me to report my treatment to a higher power, and those that I did confide in did not believe me. The cultural rot seems to go all the way to the Partner level. Either that, or they gladly turn a blind eye as long as the perpetrators of abuse keep the money coming in. Leaving this company was the best thing I ever did.
