Pros
Fantastically interesting, well-traveled, accomplished people. Very interesting work - often seems like something out of a movie.
Cons
Salaries are competitive but not fantastic. Company has been a bit slow to understand online but catching up.

Wonderful early career move, learned and did more than others under 28, horrible management of people over long-term

Pros
In short: for early career moves, i.e. people under 30, you will learn more and be exposed to more aspects of business -- the sides of business not seen by most until they are much more advanced in years -- in a shorter time than you would anywhere else. You will will learn and do more here than anywhere else in the economy. Exciting, even 'sexy' work. Broad and deep exposure to multiple client bases (financial services, Fortune 500, first tier law firms, etc). Best-in-class client service, product and service quality, and project management. Wonderful mentors in the practice of the trade.
Cons
Company full of best-in-class experts in their fields, but almost zero business-minded people. Company still run as a specialist firm, not quite an international multi-hundred million dollar business. Horrible development culture for lower- to mid-level employees. Business designed to benefit upper management and clients only; lower level staff ridden very hard until they leave for competitors or in-house at clients. Not competitive compensation. Uniquely unsupportive management culture. Top-down mentality stifles innovation. Even upper management in regions and business lines completely disenfranchised by headquarters.

Pros
With very bright colleagues, this is overall a fun and interesting place to work. The work is intellectually challenging and varied, and there are good opportunities to specialise.
Cons
There is still too much deadwood, which creates immense pressure on diligent employees to pick up the slack, with little to no work/life balance at times. High performers tend to leave after a few years for greener pastures, while people with questionable work ethics stick around. Remuneration is poor for the industry, and there are close to no benefits / bonuses are not in line with performance.
