Pros

Free food Stay at good properties Events which you would never be able to enjoy because of the kind of culture the seniors maintain

Cons

There are only cons. All I can say please please don't spoil your career by joining the HR team in this organization. You would regret it. HR managers do not even know the H of HR. Extremely insensitive and political set of arrogant people. The problem in the team is that there is little quality of work and everyone is fighting to get that share of work especially the incompetent managers in the system. There is alot of time with them to design political dirty strategies for people rather than concentrating on the little work they have and to add value.

Pros

People here are super, super nice; really smart but also caring and considerate. And, key point, the connections and resume boost when you leave are totally worth the investment.

Cons

Unfortunately, and regardless of what the brochure says, this is not a place that retains women. To do well here, you have to put work above absolutely everything else, and it's quite rare to find normal, nice women who are willing to do that. So the female principals and partners tend to be workaholic, pretty mean, and type A - not good role models for the rest of us, and not people who I want to consider mentors. Also, the culture here is highly evaluative - feedback is great, but the amount we receive here on few data points in intensely stressful. And they are *terrible* at recognizing and lauding strengths -- feedback is always strong oriented toward the negative.
