Pros

The salary is unbeatable (Cravath payscale). Work quality is good

Cons

In order to succeed, you need to believe that everything is humanly possible and clients ALWAYS come first. Expect to have your holiday cancelled / forfeited because you can never really take it. No concept of cover either.
