Pros

- Good name on your resume - Solid experience - Challenging environment - Great coworkers

Cons

- Disconnected management - Lack of perks (despite how big the name is, and how perks used to be. You get nothing now but free coffee and decent 401k matching) - Cutthroat environment - it's really not like any other job you've worked and you'll drive yourself nuts if you take it too seriously - Management isn't honest about opportunities that really exist at the firm.

Pros

The firm encourages and supports to change teams, which is helpful in expanding experience or moving away if you aren't happy with your team

Cons

The promotion has become very opaque lately. They hardly give out promotions, but make you slog and overwork the whole year in the name of it. Basically, you have worked 200% and made to look like a fool by the end of the year.
