Pros

Firm is extremely fast moving, energetic and intelligent. The company seems to find success in almost everything it does. The employees are super talented and having the name on your resume adds a lot of prestige.

Cons

There are not a lot of pats on the back for good work. They know they have great employees so they expect only the best. Often times people who work at a normal pace are unable to remain in the good graces of management.
