Pros

The pay scale is nice, and you work with big-name clients on big-deal projects.

Cons

The working environment is very hierarchical and "old school," and places little value on teamwork and shared achievement. Creativity is not a welcomed trait, and work-life balance is irrelevant - be prepared for Sunday - Friday travel. Management tends to have an aggressive attitude towards associates and analysts, and criticism is lobbed with abandon - thick skin is a required accessory. One senior VP openly admitted that there are 5 people waiting in line for every job, and most employees stay less than 2 years, so it doesn't make sense for him to try to keep people happy or build a better culture.
