Pros

Amazing network both inside and outside the firm Brilliant people from diverse intellectual backgrounds Great exit opportunities, well respected in many fields Supportive of flexible working arrangements (remote, part-time degree etc)

Cons

Centers can be natural silos of excellence (though in my experience if you reach out across centers people respond positively, it's just not the norm and there could be more of it) Upward mobility can be a challenge, especially for those early in their careers. Somewhat a function of size, there isn't the same capacity to continually promote from within. Not a clear path from Associate to Director like you'd have in a consulting firm (though I think management is working to address this)
