Pros

Reverse commute makes for an easy drive. Nice landscape. Grass, pond, ducks. If you have a good boss there can be flexability.

Cons

Sr. Leadership does not walk the talk. Lack of trust. Leadership makes no effort to build relationships with lower level staff. No sense of belonging.

Pros

Organizational culture supports work-life balance and the work environment is cordial. Co-workers are for the most part - supportive, collaborative, and friendly. Benefits are robust, although compensation can lag behind industry norms.

Cons

If you want to advance your career or grow your professional skills, this might not be the place for you. Often there is one senior associate who knows everything and that person doesn't openly share tribal knowlege so that person becomes a single point of failure - which is very risky for the company. Junior associates are almost totally dependent on the "knowledgeable one". For example: Projects are not managed well, yet working on projects is one of the few ways to get exposure and learn the business, so it is one of the fastest ways to gain tribal knowledge because senior associates are not rewarded for mentoring juniors or sharing tribal knowledge. Yet, project work is a nightmare because there is no enterprise project management standard (there is a standard but nobody follows it and nobody enforces the standard) let alone doing any kind of knowledge management.
