Pros

Offices are nice Pay OK as of a few years ago

Cons

Pay significantly lags competitors and it's getting worse, they said they were too aggressive on junior pay for the past few years yet so many people are leaving and the practice is understaffed Uses outdated tech/programming languages which are both expensive for the firm (cutting into salaries) and annoying to learn and use HR benefits and payroll prone to serious administrative errors
