Pros
The structure of studios to (somewhat) form their own goals around their practice, their business and culture. Ability to work on a variety of projects due to firm size.
Cons
Endless white man bureacracy. Firm wants to be perceived as innovative and excellent in terms of design, but they are too greedy to invest in it. Culturally, the partnership is completely out of touch with the staff. Nobody really matters, and it's painfully obvious on a cultural level. For example, a retirement party for a 30 year veteran thought leader takes the form of a 15 minute toast with an inch of champagne where a partner says a few things, everybody else stands around and then goes right back to their desk. It's just painful how no one matters there.
