If only!
Pros: If you work in the dedicated departments and you are bringing in the clients you can go really far. It's a big firm across many countries and you have the chance when you qualify to manage to move anywhere.

The intern ship program brings a lot of new staff every year and you get to meet a lot of really interesting people.
Cons: The company or partnership has not really moved on with the times much. The HR department is there for the company and not for the staff. There is no unity in the message from the partners and while they all agree on one thing collectively, individually they all still do what they want. 

The only importance to partners is the competition between themselves. If you are in a support department, you are expected to change the way we work and achieve impossible but you have no power to do any of that.

The expectation is to give up your life while working here and expectation of constant working overtime is too much. The recognition for the job well done is none existent and yearly promotions do not make any sense.

The place is full of dead weight, staff who deliver nothing, but yet can not be got rid off as they have inside knowledge on what the place is like. Support departments are not valued and despite all the waffle of being the best place to work,  they need to re-examine their approach.

Career progression really depends on who's a** you have licked the most as just hard work will get you nowhere.
