Rigid structure and lack of appreciation loses them their best talents
Pros: - Great brand name to have on the cv , aka sounds great from the outside
- You'll learn a lot if you're in a small team because you'll have to do everything
- There are some great people in there, really talented and overall great colleagues
- Depending on the project, you can stand to get tonnes of free meals
Cons: - Lack of support, recognition, appreciation shown to talents who really give it their all. You feel like you work super hard, but you don't see any returns.
- Promotions are sometimes time-based as opposed to skills based. You'll find people getting promoted only because they've been there longer, but of not much use. As compared to really talented junior staff stuck in the ranks due to the rigid structure
- Leaders work the hell out of you and only appreciate you when you try to resign. Too little, too late
- They are commonly understaffed, especially for big projects so you'll get paid to do a Senior Associate's job, but end up doing one of a manager, or worse... a senior manager
- They rarely fire, which means you have some senior folks who don't deserve to be there but perhaps because of face value, they still are. When everyone knows they do nothing and their lowly paid juniors do all the work
- They promise the clients the world, and often promise more than their poor teams can deliver, yet never give the support duly needed
- Salary increments are a joke. With that little, might as well forget the increment. 
- They make you pay to go on a company trip, granted it's a portion of the total, but still.....who pays to go on a company trip?
