Pros

Great benefits, nice people - they definintely take care of you. Salaries, while good, are low for comparable firms.

Cons

The workplace culture needs to reconcile remnants of old school philosophies with modern sensibilities.

Pros

Get to know yourself really, really well Work with highly capable rock star employees - excellence is everywhere, or you're unceremoniously fired Friendships and alliances form quickly and deeply - as a pro.

Cons

Friendships and alliances form quickly and deeply. It's also a con. Compensation well below market average. When people fall through the cracks, there is little to no management support, mentorship, training, etc. Very toxic environment.
