Pros

Big-name clients that look good on anyone's resume. Great coffee machines. A good number of very smart people. Struggling to come up with more "pros" to hit the 20 word minimum.

Cons

Finances are not transparent and decisions on hiring/firing seem to be made in a very fast and loose manner. Promotions and bonuses are not based on performance, but on how much you didn't get on the decision maker's bad side. Practice leads are forced to be competitive about resources rather than work collaboratively. Leadership at the very top is very weak, and as this is is very well known throughout the industry, it makes recruitment very challenging. It's the best global brand in the industry, but I think most people would be shocked at how little of those corporate values that have made it such have "trickled down" to this office.
