Pros

Very bright people and strong learning environment. Very good compensation.

Cons

Poor management. Little concern on understanding employees needs and creating an environment for them to succeed. Either you come ready or you are out. People with good management skills are not rewarded for it. It is all about technical knowledge and making money. Plenty of women at junior levels, very few at the top. Only a very small number of people of color.

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.
