Work Life Balance
Pros: You work among the best and brightest, professionalism is high and the firm has excellent training opportunities. The exposure to different clients and industries is very valuable.
Cons: Teams are under budgeted and inadequately staffed, so the pressure to work crazy hours is constant. The higher you progress, the greater the emphasis on generating revenue. Sales is a particular skill set and therefore sales driven talents are given much greater emphasis than technical or managerial skills. This leads to a systemic environment of poor team management, which leads to poor service. This, coupled with the long hours, is unsustainable for most talented professionals who can make more money in the private domain.
