Pros

Ability to get somewhat useful experiences on your CV, but only after suffering many mind numbing assignments and proving to be a work horse

Cons

- Partners don't care about you or your personal time/life; you are interchangeable to them and nothing more than a means for them to bill more hours and increase their own pay - Result is horrible hours and total disregard of your personal well being; regularly expected to work over or give up PTO; if you express any unwillingness to give all for the Firm you are either called lazy/uncoachable or met with or empty promises of future relief that never comes - Very high turnover due to the above

Pros

Good learning environment, the teams help support your development when you're new, and they take you under their wing to succeed in your role.

Cons

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

Pros

Good Benefits - Get the week of the fourth of July and the week of Christmas off every year.

Cons

They say we are doing well but everyone is stagnant. No real opportunities to get promoted or raises. Gone through 3 layoffs. Management says that no one is leaving because they love working there but no one is leaving because the market is bad. That is the reason for a backlog of folks trying to move up.
