Fair compensation Allows you to gain valuable experience Good exit opportunities

Terrible work-life balance You have to be willing to give up any semblance of a personal life Operating model does not set up new people for success, getting staffed on projects is all about people that you know

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I seriously cannot think of one pro whatsoever

Cons

Long hours, employees who basically throw you under the bus, management that doesn't care to hear out your side of a situation at hand and do not care to guide you in the right direction, partners that expect you to be an entertainer and constantly smile, smile, smile.
