Pros

Well respected firm with an executive committee focused on success and delivering for their clients. Smart, hard working people and great name to have on your resume.

Cons

The organization runs lean and so expect to work a lot of hours. Interestingly, there is still constant reorganization, leaving employees fearing for for their jobs, which adds unnecessary stress, leading to poor productivity and morale. Poor downward communication and quite a few disingenuous managers who look after their favorites is another stress factor. The growth from acquisitions have left the firm with no culture to speak of.

Pros

Respectable company, working with smart people for the most people.

Cons

Huge company, can be hard to navigate, almost impossible to get fired so good workers pick up slack for bad works. They need to trim fat faster and better
