Pros

good professional training, trial by fire

Cons

terrible toxic culture, no meritocracy or best idea wins mentality. managers are in place because they are either good at the role or have been there a while, NOT because they are any good at managing others. comp is far below market. those who do best are people who come from lower tier schools and feel like this is their big shot and are willing to put their head down, take a beating, and be grateful for getting nothing.

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.
