Down-to-earth, friendly culture
Pros: - Quite laid back atmosphere compared to some of its competitors. You're there to get the job done, less artificiality in the corporate culture.
- Rapid career progression, I had the opportunity to move from senior associate to manager within a year. 
- Opportunities for paid further education.
Cons: - Hours can get a bit much. 
- On the other hand there were significant periods of downtime when there was little happening on the client front.
- Lateral movement can be difficult, so if you get stuck with a Partner whose personality you clash with, watch out!
