Pros

Big name. Looks good on resume.

Cons

Low pay. If you are junior, expect to be paid 30%+ less than other places, especially technology firms. The management takes pride in keeping people for the least pay possible, which is disgusting. VP+ people seems generally satisfied with their pay though. So advise: get to senior level in tech firms then jump to GS.

Great benefits (medical, dental, life insurance, 401k) and PTO package. Lots of opportunities to get involved and network across the firm and in the community.

Cons

For many teams, the salary is not competitive for other companies. High stress.
