Pros

To build your resume with the experience at working at a/the top firm. Some of the people are great, and all are talented and motivated. It's also a good place to learn the business and how to manuever through the corporate world - no place will be tougher or more ruthless.

Cons

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.
