Pros

Made some money, bought a good car and a apartment. In the begining I was very excited about the culture and thought I would make tons of friends

Cons

Lost my life, wife, family, friends and self-esteem. I found that I was a just a pawn in the board and was under pressure all the time. Working hours were terrible

Pros

The firm encourages and supports to change teams, which is helpful in expanding experience or moving away if you aren't happy with your team

Cons

The promotion has become very opaque lately. They hardly give out promotions, but make you slog and overwork the whole year in the name of it. Basically, you have worked 200% and made to look like a fool by the end of the year.
