Pros
- Great access to clients from early on in your career (interns present to clients in meetings) - Opportunities to learn and try new things (regular check-ins with managers to set goals for growth) - Encouragement to thrive outside the office (a first year associate just starred in a play while working full-time) - Great co-workers; people you actually enjoy so much you want to see them out of the office (30+ of the 100 people in the office went to see the associate's play) - Fun office outings (recent trips include a regatta on the SF Bay and a day of improv at a theatre company) - The pay is good (we are still getting raises and bonuses in the recession) - Job security (we are still hiring and growing)
Cons
- Presence in a limited number of industries (we do 80% of our work in "healthcare") - Limited number of practice areas (we do work mostly in the sales force and marketing space)
