Pros

Challenging environment, intelligent competent people, best training in its class, great opportunities for career advancement and professional growth, great compensation, great on the resume for business school and other career opportunities. The 360 performance review process can be helpful, but you must stay aggressive about managing your career and where you want to go professionally in order to stand out amongst your peers and challenge yourself. There are also a lot of opportunities for advancement if you're great at networking. Otherwise, you can get stuck in a division or job role that you may not like.

Cons

politics, lack of communication b/w management and employees, sometimes ppl are too high strung

Pros

The firm encourages and supports to change teams, which is helpful in expanding experience or moving away if you aren't happy with your team

Cons

The promotion has become very opaque lately. They hardly give out promotions, but make you slog and overwork the whole year in the name of it. Basically, you have worked 200% and made to look like a fool by the end of the year.
