Pros

Day to day, people are outwardly pleasant.

Cons

Upper management is awful, constantly looking out for their pocket to the detriment of employees. In good years you will get the minimum to keep you happy. In bad years they will act like they are doing you a favor allowing you to walk through the doors. Countless nonsensical decisions including arbitrarily starting and stopping new strategies, constant team reshuffling, and fully subjective compensation. Terrible packages when compared to firms ownership thinks they are competing against. So much sucking up, back stabbing, and resulting dead weight you would think it was banking.

Pros

Variety of work - you'll end up wearing nine different hats which results in a variety of different tasks. You'll also work with many different teams which keeps things interesting. There is free coffee and snacks The people are nice.

Cons

There are too many middle managers and not enough individual contributors They pay men more than women for the same role They require 3 days in-office even if your commute is extensive (wouldn't recommend PEAK6 for anyone with children or hoping to have children) Executive leadership lacks strategic vision which often causes chaos/disorganization Their health insurance isn't great
