You pay for travel and big responsibility with time/blood/sweat/tears
Pros: - Fantastic, company-funded travel opportunities (e.g., living in Sweden for a year with travel stipend and paid apartment, travelling around US and Canada)
- Career-accelerating opportunities to lead teams and projects
- Strong, focused mentorship to learn new skills quickly
Cons: - Incredibly long work hours and poorly planned projects resulting in wild deadlines and pressure (e.g., working 70 hours/week many weeks in a row, working overnight or through full weekends to fix bugs or prep presentations). Regular hours were upwards of 10 hours/per day of actual work, plus travel time, plus 2-15 hours of work on the weekends
- Environment that made you feel if you were overwhelmed it was your fault for not managing time correctly
- Some management who was strictly negative in their feedback
- Reward for good work was more extracurricular work on top of regular work
- Expectation for you to "guide your career" and "advocate for yourself" with top leadership who rarely had time to speak with you. We were regularly told that we were expecting to be paid too much while the partners raked in millions per year. 
- No opportunity to negotiate salary at all at levels BA/C/SC. Your compensation was told to you, and there was no discussion. Prior to the communication, you are told "The decision hasn't been made so I can't discuss this", and after the communication you are told "The decision has been made"
