Pros

Consistently has some of the most unique, friendly, and interesting staff in the business. Great place for international travel. Content can be engaging in strategy projects. Lack of management infrastructure gives a entreprenurial feel to the business, meaning you can make whatever you chose of it.

Cons

Lack of management and infrastructure while sometimes a plus, can be a huge pain. In recent years, the firm has been running in overdrive with little downtime. Compensation is broadly out of line with equivalent levels of responsibilities at other firms and more political that some might prefer.
