Pros

Smart people, who work hard, care about their clients and solve interesting problems. Some great opportunities to work on interesting problems.

Cons

Some great people, but just as many not so great people. A male-dominated, white culture that has no plan to improve diversity in the firm (directly heard this from multiple different leaders). It is a hit or miss with what project you end up on and the leadership on that project. Ratings, promotions and bonuses are a black hole and based more on MDs liking a person rather than hard work. Expect long hours with very poor work-life balance.
