Pros

To build your resume with the experience at working at a/the top firm. Some of the people are great, and all are talented and motivated. It's also a good place to learn the business and how to manuever through the corporate world - no place will be tougher or more ruthless.

Cons

Advice to Senior Management

Care more about your employees in a true sense and not just by talking about it. Most importantly, take responsibility for your direct subordinates and spread the financial rewards around more - partners and those at the top take way too much of the compensation pie.
