No job is perfect.

Pros

The office is in a great location; Center City Philadelphia. I have great co-workers, challenging work, all the resources I need to do my job, and a really great balance of management influence vs autonomy.

Cons

Department heads have the freedom to run their department as they wish, but this leads to some wildly differing cultures. Some departments have more privileges, and better work/life balance than others, which seems a bit unfair considering that it's entirely arbitrary. In fact, some floors of the building feel like an entirely different company all together. The benefits are excellent for 5 years ago, but they're pretty mediocre by today's standards. The pay could be better - while not terrible, it will likely be a factor when I eventually move on.

Great firm but...

Pros

Great firm to work for - people are very collegial and they believe in socializing and have monthly parties and breakfasts.

Cons

IT systems are antiquated and make it difficult to get one's work done. IT does not believe in getting anything new, they just patch things up all the time. There are patches to the patches... Support staff bonuses and salaries are very low.

Pros

High profile clients. Almost market compensation.

Cons

Little to no training or mentorship of junior associates who are viewed as fungible assets. Little to no path to partnership. Little to no transparency regarding upper management. Diversity efforts are a joke. Average compensation is below market.
