Pros

The associate position gives fresh college grads great levels of responsibility and autonomy, even if a lot of times the roles they're given are basic and boring. It's a great springboard to business school, private equity, venture capital, or other consulting jobs.

Cons

Work-life balance continues to be a major issue, something the firm is trying to address but thus far getting very little traction in improving; all of the best people leave and go onto better and better-paying positions, leaving a lack of management talent from project leaders up to partners

Pros

Intellectual challenge Smart but down-to-earth coworkers Exposure to wide variety of business problems

Cons

Can be intense travel; hard to balance work-life Diminishing returns beyond certain point (unless trying to make partner); focus early on specific industry/practice- a very generalist profile can be detrimental if seeking transition to industry
