Pros

Interesting projects, young people are encouraged to run with them, very cheap and good healthcare. Possibly a good place to learn if you are lucky enough to work under the right people on the right projects, very laid back

Cons

Partners could not care less about who you are unless you are their favorite, nobody from HR stays more than 3 months, one of the higher turn over rates in New York, no upward mobility, not a place where talent is recognized or appreciated, misguided staffing practices leading to random firing, promotion via brown nosing

Pros

Flexible work environment was great. They're pretty good on diversity.

Cons

Stressful work for sure, but I've heard it varies depending on your location. They do random layoffs.
