Pros

Excellent salary and benefits. One of the most generous vacation packages in the Industry.

Cons

Very demanding culture. Definitely a New York centric culture at times views Denver, Charlotte and Boston offices as intellectual inferiors. Work life balance can be an issue if you don't set good boundaries. I have gotten emails at 2am on Easter Sunday with the expectation of a response by 8am the following day. I've witnessed folks being carried out on a gurney from exhaustion because they refused to set appropriate work/life boundaries.

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary and Benefits. Location. A sense of pride for being associated with the company.

Cons

Not playing nice in the sandbox. Back stabbing, wag-the-dog, and plenty of 'political theatre' resulting in gross cost inefficiencies and thwarted delivery of much needed results. Threatened (and unqualified) mid-tier management usurping large amounts of time and credit on extremely complex initiatives, then simultaneously not taking responsibility and muscling out the talent driving results. Measurable program results thwarted by crossfire: programs must 'run surveillance' to protect work. All the makings of a good Robert Ludlum novel; but not exactly thrilling when in the middle of it. On a different note, the company is caught up in own, yes formidable, history. This history, however grand, is past.
