Pros

Interesting work helping clients grow their business. Promoted several times (it took a while). Most roles worked with many areas at the firm so it provided a holistic view of the organization, which was great.

Cons

Some managers created a difficult work environments. Those partners are no longer at the firm...but neither am I along with some talented people who left or were part of one of the a RIFs.
