Pros

Colleagues, opportunity for advancement, technology offerings. They won't say they're a lifestyle firm but it's a company that definitely recognizes that everyone has a life outside of the firm.

Cons

Sometimes big firms are slow to make decisions when being nimble and agile would be good to lean into.
