Pros

- work w lots of major companies - good people across levels (helpful, kind, intelligent) - dependent on office but culture and team in SF is great - diverse - need to push for responsibility sometimes but can build trust and skill pretty quick (dependent on managers) - strong grad school exits - most jrs leave to a T20

Cons

- salary below market rates w very little transparency - senior management is more focused on lip service than providing actual support - staffing heavily dependent on manager relationships - heavily siloed, no ability to work between practices - west coast offices isolated from the rest - jrs carry responsibility for utilization - lots of turnover
