Pros

good starting point for an entry-level. Enter as mid-career and your inevitably staring at the glass celing.

Cons

Decent health benefits and vacation. Although diversity is "mentioned" as one of its core values, there is little diversity to be seen at this place.

Pros

Interesting work helping clients grow their business. Promoted several times (it took a while). Most roles worked with many areas at the firm so it provided a holistic view of the organization, which was great.

Cons

Some managers created a difficult work environments. Those partners are no longer at the firm...but neither am I along with some talented people who left or were part of one of the a RIFs.
