Pros

Nice colleagues, flexibility to work from home, no one's looking over your shoulder to monitor you constantly. Not a market leader in comp but matches peers.

Cons

Sometimes unclear how well you're doing compared to your peers; working hours can be uneven over the year (but that's symptomatic of big firms); reductions in perks; increase in time spent working on client bills.

Benefits are decent. Good retirement package. Exercise facilities on-site Chance to connect personally with long-time employees. Communication about review process "getting better"

Cons

Always wondering if you are going to make it to retirement. Assigned too many senseless "projects" Long-time employees, associates and partners being forced out. Review process is based on firm bottom line
