Pros

Good work environment - bright colleagues. Most of the associates are hired from good schools and come in with great energy and excitement. The work itself is moderately interesting.

Cons

Poor leadership - focused on self preservation in shrinking environment. Work is becoming much more routine with focus on comliance and approvals so shades of bureacuracy creeping in. Slowly clawing away on benefits and salary packages over time. A few fast trackers grow fast but for the rest it can be a slow growth environment

Pros

The compensation package is attractive. Bonus structure is enviable with spot bonuses for hard work on big projects.

Cons

A cut-throat, down right nasty environment where every one is an "expert" no matter how green. The business silos do not work well together - the animosity and competition is ruthless. Middle management drives toward unrealistic goals set by out of touch senior management. (Date driven projects cutting scope to meet schedule resulting in a poorly executed, half-baked product.) The customer is an account and not the reason for doing business.
