Pros

some good people that the firm really doesn't deserve to have.

Cons

If you have a strong, unique voice that threatens the white patriarchy, you'll be strategically pushed out before you realize they're doing it. If you happen to sit in the same quadrant as the ceo, prepare to wear your winter jacket thruout the entire summer - ceo likes it freezing because he wears a full suit to work every day, and the thermostat's set to his individual preference. That alone tells you more than you need to know about the guy. Gaslighting and favoritism everywhere. Developed severe depression, anxiety and rage issues while at this office, so glad that's in the past.
