Pros
Amazing colleagues, enjoyable office culture, many opportunities within the company, flexible (can work from home or adjust hours if/when needed, a lot of vacation time to use and large team to back you up on work for longer vacations), most managers truly care about your wellbeing. Some weeks/months can be extremely busy and/or stressful, but the business is cyclical within a calendar year and everyone gets “down time” at some point. Good benefits; I always choose the lower tier medical plan because my medical needs are consistent year to year and I have paid little ($7 or less per paycheck) to no premium depending on the year. Managers have a system in place for sharing/spreading resources and assessing talent across the teams so that promotions, salary adjustment, and bonuses are fairly allocated. New managers go through manager training sessions and leadership development sessions. While there are areas that could be improved, the grass is not greener, folks.
Cons
Plenty of opportunity for every individual within the company, but the opportunities are not always communicated well. Busy times of the year can become overwhelmingly busy and stressful and there is not always immediate relief or help when that happens. Managers do typically solve the issue for the next time around, but there aren't always immediate resources available, especially during the busiest times o the year.

Pros
Great colleagues and fun (yet stressful) atmosphere.
Cons
Very poor work/life balance that you will not be compensated for. You will be expected to work a minimum of 45 hours per week and will likely get some nasty looks if you take any vacation or sick days during a busy time of year. Your busy time of year will depend on the clients you work with, so you might not be able to take a day off all summer or might have short holiday vacations depending on where you land. The benefits are decent; typical for today's standards, but they are definitely not premium benefits. Expect the company to shift most of the health care premium cost increases to you each year. Promotions and raises are very subjective and largely depend on the manager you are assigned to. There are NO processes in place to ensure your manager is doing their due diligence interviewing the people you work with when filling out your review. Aon Benfield creates great analysts, but they do not create good managers. Managers are just analysts strapped for time that fill out your review at the last minute.
