Pros

The base salary is supposedly better than that of other firms. Not sure how true that is.

Cons

Everything they tell you at recruiting is false. No ongoing training program. No work-life balance. Professional feedback process is a joke. We're supposed to have an "ownership mentality" but as soon as the firm enters a downturn all transparency goes out the window. The casework we've been doing has just gotten more and more uninteresting and the people who have been getting promoted to Partner don't have any leadership skills. The clients think of us as extra bodies to churn out models and crunch numbers. The way they treat women is what you'd expect from an investment banking firm (remember those?) in the 80s.
