Pros

More relaxed culture than your standard “mid tier” firm, I.e not too crazy about meeting your billables.

Cons

-The politics of the place is bad. - They are extremely frugal with pay, was getting paid terrible, raised it a few times and they effectively opted to “promote” me (only title, no pay) - Had hardly to no mentoring, had to just work things out on my own.
