Pros: Made some great friends, exposure to top organisations, quick promotions if you're the top of your cohort, CA paid for, There were some amazing managers that I really learnt a lot from.
Cons: Terrible IT - Computers were dated and really needed to be upgraded ASAP. 
Long hours are expected and not rewarded. Even if you do long hours it doesn't seem good enough. In busy season you will be in the office from 8:30 till midnight and still get told the work isn't enough. 
Managers are promoted based on their technical ability and ability to grind the most hours. Not based on their ability to manage. Most managers were terrible with people and terrible at teaching junior staff. This being said there were a couple of amazing managers
Firm was a bit stingy on rewards for slaving away. Rewards being bar tabs and one night away a year.
