Pros

Many smart people, who came from impressive backgrounds. Smart, interesting clients Good drink selection Generally nice, helpful people Many international locations Biggest network of clients Good work/life balance

Cons

Okay benefits, no 401-k match Decisions made from top level down, without buy-in consideration or input from those below Bureaucracy and politics can make it difficult to get things done Despite having many smart people, silly/irrational management decisions appear to be made A lot of attrition in the past year Doesn't foster innovation, and having difficulty in product creation and growth Little room for career growth A lot of "it is what is it" thought mentality

Pros

You are working with the cream of the crop from the academic world. The pressure is intense, but everyone across the board handles the pressure positively and professionally. It's great training.
